Does anyone know if you can get Tier Points on BA Connect/Plus tickets or if it was an error???
I could save myself a lot of driving!
THANK YOU
Yes you can.
However the tickets need to be booked in the correct booking class. The exact booking class which tickets book into on BA.com is its biggest flaw - it doesn't tell you!
However a general rule of thumb, if BA.com is telling you that the ticket you are about to buy (or could 'upgrade to' for X number of pounds) is valid for entry into the Executive Club then yes it will earn you tier points.
Only the more expensive and therefore tickets with flexibility such as those booked into H or Y class on BA Connect will earn you Tier points.
