2017 POUG rate tracker

Please add your own successful results to the follow list including the month/year when the POUG was offered to you. Please delete any figures from 2017 or earlier if you have a 2018 price. Previous data lives on via post 2.

UPDATED TO: Post #418

POUGs are offered via BA.com and the App Manage My Booking via a distinctive banner (example from MMB below). You cannot get a POUG by telephoning, however the service centres can complete a POUG which falls over mid transaction. They are offered on cash and Avios redemptions but typically not on complex routings, BA Holidays or travel agency bookings until OLCI stage. POUGs on Avios redemptions won't get you additional TPs/Avios, but they will on revenue tickets.



Short haul routes from LON to/from Europe
A price in pounds indicates a ticket issued from London, other currencies indicate prices for tickets issued overseas (e.g. singles or returns originating from CDG priced in Euros). Multiple prices indicate a range of fares are on offer. Note that LCY prices currently seem to be on a different basis to LGW and LHR (cheaper, in other words).

LCY to Milan Lin £139
Milan Lin to LHR £139.

Booked last week for travel this weekend. Wish I did upgrade the fight back to LHR, It was the new less legroom than ryanair plane and it was tight.


The flight out of LCY was great, First time flying out of LCY. Such a shame I live 2 miles from LHR as I think LCY is now top of my list for experience.

Being offered £585 for WTP -> CW on SIN-LHR. I’m on the 777 service though - would be more tempted if on the A380 with upper deck window seats available!

Not only have I not been offered a POUG on my J flight to Philly, when I request a price a pop up says the fare is not eligible for an upgrade. Bah.

I convinced myself this would only be worth it if there was a window seat available (14h night flight), and a check of Expert Flyer revealed that yes, there was a solitary window seat still available. So I was left with no option but to accept this POUG offer and grab the window seat. Warning: Expert Flyer can cause you to spend money!

KEF - LHR in May 2018: HBO to CE for £109.

Not bad for a 3hr evening flight and 70 additional tier points.
Done deal.
