If you have so many avios. I would prefer a route where they fly first and have a class. Easy.

So flight to Male I wanted is almost sold out per the agent and unlikely to release my class to use a joker, presume by travel agents given Xmas week. So with the above post in mind any ideas of where I could use my joker to fly first class to with a relatively simple transfer to the Maldives? Also presume if I do this it would be 2 separate bookings and I would take the risk of the BA flight being delayed? But maybe a risk I would be happy to take. Thanks in advance!

Are there routes (apart from DXB and BOS) where BA have completely pulled A class? e.g. CPT in Oct is F9 A0 on pretty much every single flight, what happens to jokers in this situation?

BA have reintroduced A class on the Boston route next winter. Shame as I will miss the extra Avios on a cheap F fare.

If A class availability doesn't open up then you are probably not going to be able to use a Joker. It might be worth asking the GGL team to ask revenue management if they are prepared to allow the seats to be taken from F buckets but it's certainly not a given.

GGL Partner Card Query
I’d like to nominate someone for my partner silver card. I’ve noticed that BA seems to have fixed the online issue with nominating and those in your household and F&F list appear in a drop down menu. I’d like to nominate someone who isn’t in the list. I cannot modify my F&F list as I recently made a change to book someone an Avios ticket and as such it is locked out for six months. So my question is, can the GGL line nominate this person for my silver card despite the fact that they’re not on my F&F list, or is there a rule that says they have to be on this list? I’ve searched but can’t find any clear cut rules on this and I’d really like to nominate him before his next trip.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Do they do that for GGL's open up seats in the cabin that normally don't have Avios allowances ?

Above is pointing out that there's also some discretion if the applicable fare bucket isn't available... Never seen it acted upon, though, including three of my own requests.
