Upgrade message on MMB
Just logged in to MMB to check in for tonight's long haul flight from LHR and the following message was on the page. Whilst I am lucky enough to often receive upgrades I have not seen this message before. Must be new. Nice!

Last year I got a "You have been upgraded to Club World" at check in. Got to the airport just to be told that I have been put back down to WTP as it had been a "computer error"

To be quite frank you should never have been downgraded again - and at least given some compensation for the false hope that THEIR "computer error" had given you. Remember you made no mistake - so it is the airline, in this case BA, who should pay for it, not you.
