What does this mean for those of us with existing bookings for travel from April onwards?
- If your ticket was booked into J, C, D, R, I, or U fare classes, you will travel in the CE cabin and will enjoy lounge access plus the usual fast track benefits and special meal options that come with CE.
- If your ticket was booked into the Y bucket, you will be rebooked for free into J (Club Europe) and the above benefits will apply. This should happen automatically well in advance of travel. If your ticket was not issued by BA, you should contact the issuing airline to make sure this change is properly processed.
- If your ticket was booked into B, H, K, M, L, V, N, Q, O, S, G fare classes, you will travel in the ET cabin and all elements of the airport and cabin experience will the same as before.
- If your ticket was booked into the X fare bucket (economy class redemption), then you will travel in the ET cabin above. However, if this was part of a longhaul club or first ticket, it may be possible to be rebooked for free into the U (Club Europe) bucket. You will have to call BA to accomplish this change.
Earning Avios and Tier Points

Apples with apples indeed.
Its 20 years since I did the EDI-LON run regularly stopping at Charnock services on the way.
Good times but I suspect my bones might creak a bit getting off nowadays!
Not to mention the crazy drinking sessions on those buses....worse than a BA lounge!

I have posted a review of the Club Europe service (MAN-LHR-MAN). Rather than double-post it, it can be found in the dedicated http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...l#post28118545 topic.

Thanks Tobias, interesting read. I was wondering about the reduction in seating impacting availability, service levels, boarding etc... I.e now it is "Live" how s it working out?

Genius, If there are for example 12 rows of club, that would mean 24 fewer seats, and many of the DOM flights I catch were full before the change. I know the Airbus aircraft are being densified, but in the interim a significant reduction in DOM seats. Ok that may push up yield.
Is Domestic boarding easier? (It used to be a scrum) What is the reality? I am sure locker space will be better now.
Is there any thought about making the first three rows better as there is no need to convert them to the (old) domestic configuration?

I've just been upgraded out of BHD tonight. Luck or teething problems? I think two others were in the same situation.
