BA removed ability to mix econ out Club in on LH ?
Was just checking prices for some flights to the US and when searching on economy BA have always shown PE and Club and would allow you to select economy out and club back but now it is like the European baggage only flights and saying club is not available when economy is selected for outbound. You need to select PE as a min. Is this a change of policy ?

Looks like they have changed how prices are displayed.
POS issue?
Depending on starting city the options are different and look different in the ios app.
If I go ex ARN to NYC via LHR have no class option at all.
If ARN LHR I see basic, plus and business in a drop down.
If LHR NYC it looks correct with the "swipe to see more classes" option.
This is BA outsourced app at it's peak I suppose

It appears ba.com will allow you to book WT and WTP together or WTP and CW together but ba.com will not offer WT and CW. I suspect a gremlin rather than a change to the fare rules.

This was a long time ago (about 6 months) and the flight has been flown but thank you! Useful to know for next time around as this is a combo I often want to do as WTP is fine for a day flight but CW for overnight helps!

ba.com hasn't been giving any option to mix classes nor to select by price from MAN for a few days now. Works but with limited options for London departures. If this is a permanent move it's very much a downgrade for those of us who don't start our trips from LHR/LGW

Just went to book my usual WT or WTP out and CW back DUB-ORD and options to combine have disappeared!
Options are there for ex-LHR but (as others note above) only WT+WTP or WTP+CW seem possible.
Praying this is just a temporary glitch....

Normally when entering DUB-NYC you can normally see a list of club prices, however this no longer seems available. Seems a bit off that you can no longer see the price until you enter the next page. Is this a change or a BA glitch?

Same think here from NCE to YYC, you have to tick the class you want to fly to get results, you cannot even mix WT+ WTP or WTP+CW.
If this is another "enhancement" following the luggage rules for CW (2x32kg, how can carry that ??), the only airline asking to pay for CW seat reservation and so on, for European travellers, BA will not be anymore an option as all other airlines offer mix and match of classes, free seat selection in CW by booking and that for nearly same price !! I am really sad about as I loved BA

Which I hope suggests that this is perhaps a temporary glitch but the immediate issue seems to relate to non LHR/LGW departures where the option to mix classes looks to have disappeared.
