yes no problem. You’ll have to call to book it though as you can’t do that online, although you can check reward availability online by searching for INV to China one way and China to ABZ one way.

Thank you Karfa,

I have checked availability and F is available both ways.

Just reading through the terms, with a view to cancelling my card, and saw this - is this recent change as it differs from the advice in the wiki:

20. Companions do not have to be people who are named within a British Airways Executive Club Household Account. Cardmembers can choose to take anyone as a Companion on their Companion Voucher booking.

Where are you reading that? It's a real dog's dinner.

My live voucher has a link to these terms: https://www.britishairways.com/trave...club/_gf/en_gb
which say "20. Members can choose to take anyone as a Companion on their Companion Voucher booking except if the member is part of a Household Account. In such an instance, the companion must also belong to the Household Account."

But this Amex page https://www.americanexpress.com/uk/c...sPremiumPlusCC
links to these terms https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...onditions.html
with "20. Companions do not have to be people who are named within a British Airways Executive Club Household Account. Cardmembers can choose to take anyone as a Companion on their Companion Voucher booking."

This BA page also has the looser terms: https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...redit-cards/uk

You apparently have a fourth version, numbered differently.

In any case you can certainly add someone to you F&F list and have them as your companion, so neither form is correct. Practically speaking you won't be able to book a companion online who isn't on your HHA or F&F (passenger selection restrained), but I would guess the looser rule is the correct/current form and so you could force it through by phone.

You've app

Hello, may I ask if anyone can help. Apologies if this is covered but I cannot seem to find it anywhere. I have booked our trip using a 241 (first time using it) however I left out the domestic leg at the start of the booking as we were not sure when we would be travelling to LHR. Now that I now we will travel to LHR the night before, is this something that can be added to the 241 booking? Many thanks in advance

According to this, yes: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/28279170-post92.html

You’ll have to call and pay a £35 change fee per person, plus the additional Avios and/or the difference in tax.

Residency question

Does anyone happen to know if I change my residency from UK to US, will that have an impact on the two 2-4-1 vouchers I have in my account? I am currently a UK resident having earned vouchers using the AMEX card, and I'd like to use my US address to earn points on the Chase BA card but to do this I have to change my address to the US. Any major implications here - with the exception that I know the 2-4-1 must start in the UK.

Thanks!

Bit of advice required. I called to add return flights to a 2-4-1 booking at the weekend however the domestic connection was not yet available, so i was advised to call back a day or two later to add the final flight, and the LH flight would be booked, which it was.. At this time no quote was given of the Avios or fees required. This would be sorted out when i booked the domestic connection
On calling up yesterday to add the domestic connection I believe I have been misquoted the correct amount of avios/fees (in my favour !!).
As yet no redemption amount has appeared in my account nor money taken from my cc

All flights are appearing in my BA account, any advice ??

I can't see this confirmed anywhere, is it fine for two members of a family to both have different credit cards and thus both earn vouchers - understanding that only family members can actually fly on the voucher. Essentially we earn two of these vouchers a year and want to make sure that creating a family account is not going to prevent that. Thanks.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, I believe the answer is yes, it is fine. My husband and I have been in an exec club household account for some time, we have separate BA Amex cards and we each earn a voucher a year. We can use both vouchers in a year without a problem using Avios from the same Household account.

Perfect, that's exactly what I wanted to know - thank you very much.

It's probable that you haven't yet been re-ticketed, and the debits will be taken when they do that. You can check by logging-in here https://web.1a-xml.jp/eitr/webeitr/ , then hit the e-ticket button and look if both flghts are listed in the itinerary.

It's something to keep an eye on: doesn't seem so common at the moment but it's hassle if they never get round to re-ticketing you (you'll have a problem checking-in for the inbound).

Should be your six character booking reference, last name, first name to log-in.

Normal checkmytrip shows your amended booking not your possibly-unamended ticket.
