tried to book the special last night from iah to lgw for $288, but the computer site locked up and it told me to call the number and reference my flight numbers. while i was on hold i went to the continental site and found out they were matching the fare and i have points on con and not ba so while still on hold with ba, i booked tickets for london for thanksgiving and when i finished buying the tickets on co, i hung up with ba and they lost the business. cie la vie. </font>
Be careful, I had the same experience when I booked my flight the other night on BA for travel over Thanksgiving. Site locked up, said call the number, reference flight number, placed on hold for at least 40 minutes, when I finally get an agent, she tells me the reservation had actually gone through.
