That would be the GRU flight that extends to EZE I think 3 times a week. It always has WT+ available (as of course do all BA long haul flights).

I agree, I doubt BA would do a 2 step downgrade - they'd bump someone else down from WT+ to WT to make way for those jettisoned from CW (I hope!).

Smirnoff, would OLCI really save you from an invol downgrade? Surely the agent could just take your OLCI BP for CW and say sorry, here's your new WT+ BP and £300.
