Definition of T-355
Hi all,
In terms of booking reward (or any) seats, I know they become available at T-355. 355 days in the future as of now is 14th September 2018, however the BA website is currently only showing flights up to the 13th.
I know the rule of thumb is that they become available in the call centres at midnight UTC, and a few hours later online, therefore I expect I would be able to have booked flights for 14th September 2018 today - will these not get loaded until midnight UTC which is in a couple of hours?
Thanks,
Jack

Funnily enough, being a British based company, BA use GMT for the release of seats. When seats aRe released at midnight they should be available both online and if calling up at the same time.
At this precise moment I can book seats through to and including 14 September 2018. Flights should be bookable for a total of 355 'full' days so you should include the current day in that total rather than adding 355 days to the current date.
