I saw it on head for points that by dissolving a HHA with BAEC, all the children's avios will go to the head account holder, could someone confirm that it's still the case?
I tried to do it and I got a warning saying that all their avios will be cancelled - so I really don't want to risk it.
Thanks a lot in advance!

do ba allow 2 accounts in the same name?
i have one at my address and one at my mums (due to tesco accounts held there) i would like to get them combined or add to household account.but not sure if ba will close both accounts? they have both been earning miles at the same time from tescos, so not like one was an old forgotten account.

Could anyone please help with this simple query?
I'm about to create a HHA for my partner & myself.
I have and earn the most Avios but my partner has a BA Amex and expects to earn a companion voucher later this year.
Does it matter who is listed as head of household on the account?
As I arrange and book our travel it would be best if it was me but would I then be able to use his companion voucher on a booking for the 2 of us from our HHA or would he have to make the booking as it is his companion voucher

Just to clarify, he would be able to book for us using his companion voucher and the combined miles in our HHA? (he will have the companion voucher but I have most of the Avios we require)
And it doesn't matter who is head of the HHA?

Thinking of creating a HHA for the following reason:
Wife (Bronze) and I (Silver, soon to be Gold) have around 200k Avios each. We need to do a number of redemptions for her and baby on LAN and AA. When I log under my account, there’s plenty of redemption availability, but virtually none when I log in under her account.
I could just book those redemptions from my account, but seeing as they would use about 150k of my Avios, am I better off creating a HHA.
More importantly: by creating a HHA, will availability show as per the highest tier member? Should I still log in under my account to redeem for her?

There should be no difference in partner availability based upon your BA status. Gold status provides expanded economy class award availability on BA flights.

I know - but in practice this happens all the time on LAN. Case in point: SCL-AKL shows virtually no redemptions for Jan-Feb/2017 in Bronze, and plenty of options for Silver. Same for SCL-GIG redemptions... On second look, availability on AA seems to be the same regardless of tier.

Quick question, apologies if I've missed it when scanning up thread.
Looking at setting up a HHA and using a 241.
I have a substantially larger pile of Avios than my companion, but we are happy to pay the same number of Avios for the redemption.
Am I able to export to my IB account so that we have the same number each, then set up the HHA, make the redemption (which should debit 50/50) and finally move from IB to BA? Is this possible and are there any intricacies that I'm missing?

Sorry to bump in with a question of my own, but I was waondering from what age can children accrue Avios. Can infants accrue them, and if so, is it 10% of the normal accrual rate?
