Actually if you search Google for "Jim'll Fix It seat" It comes up with a FT trip report on BA to BEY

Let's call it the Thompson Vantage seat if you prefer that

The earning for RJ has been enhanced. For the better.

Economy (discounted) H, K, L, M, N, O, Q, V, W and S 25% of flown miles
Economy (full fare) Y, B 100% of flown miles
Business J, C, D, I and Z 125% of flown miles

All the above classes will earn TPs as well so we can start booking RJ!

Many thanks - the earning slides for RJ and S7 have now been updated to include the additional fare classes now eligible for Avios/TPs. AY, LA, QR, US, and UL slides have also been updated.

It was on ITA for around £1,400. Not a mind blowingly fantastic deal but pretty reasonable given that there are two cities involved. He routing was LHR-AMM-BEY-AMM-LHR all on RJ. The LHR-AMM legs were on the 787. All RJ I'm afraid so you wouldn't be able to try the mid haul seats. I was looking at the end of October flying out

Qatar Airways operated by Oman Air - Tier points?

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know if you would receive tier points on a flight from Muscat-Doha with a Qatar Airways flight number, but operated by Oman Air?

I'm assuming they don't but it would be a nice surprise if they do!

Thanks in advance,

DOHUA

Thanks Jerry, I was on that page, bit of a dumb moment!

Another quick question for everyone. My tier point collection year ends on 8th July. Am I correct in thinking that the 8th is the last day to collect TP's or will it reset on the 8th?

Thanks!

The 8th is your last day to collect TP, the reset is at the end of the day.

Correct, any flight departing on the 8th will count for your current membership year.

I have a reservation on BA from MCT to LHR and I inserted my BAEC number in the PNR hoping to get an upgrade at the check-in because of my status with BA. However, I would like to credit the flights to my AA account.

When is the best time to change the FFP number from BA to AA and make sure the flights will be credited to my AA account and I still may take advantage of a possible upgrade on that busy flight?

I'm really going to test the collective knowledge on here now!

I'm looking at booking a trip to Lanzarote on iberia.com. The itinerary includes a short hop from LPA to ACE with Binter Canarias (NT coded). Does anybody know if that flight would earn Avios with Iberia Plus?

I don't think you can earn avios on them with BA, but you can with IB+ (http://www.iberia.com/web/webPartner...&idPartner=714).

Basically, 1.25 per miles on business, 1 per mile on full economy, 0.30 per mile on discount economy.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently at 340TP and looking to get 260TP (at least) from a single trip originating from YVR/SEA anytime before September 5th. Do you have any ideas at a reasonable budget?

Thanks

See: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...er-thread.html

A business/first segment under 2,000 miles earns 40/60 TP's, and over 2,000 miles (and under 6k) earns 140/210 TP's. So you could look for transcon flight one way in first and back in economy, or several short first segments.

Cool, I just found a good deal on SEA-PHL-LGA (US first), could you confirm it's 270TP in total (210+60) for a one way flight?

Thanks

Yes assuming they're booked in to a first fare bucket.
