There was availability for us to go First on every leg, so we went for it and booked. Also, it is great that if something comes up, we can cancel before we go for $50/pp to have our miles redeposited.
I did get one tip that I did not know. You can call 330 days out to book your outgoing flight. Then call back to add on the return flight 330 days out from that time for no charge. Worked great for us.
I hope you can find something to CPT! Good luck
Well done! Make sure to read the BA board to get the tips on how to maximize your experience in BA F, both in-flight and during your layovers at LHR (the new T5 will likely be open by then, so the lounge info and location will change -- but you'll still want to make sure to book a massage, etc.)
