According to the BA calculator at https://www.britishairways.com/trave...r/public/en_gb you will get nothing for Glasgow<>Gatwick and 7456 Avios + 140 TP each way for Gatwick<>Honk Kong if you are on CX coded flights.
EDIT: actually checking more some do! however the LGW-GLA doesn't seem to have a CX codeshare

On that basis, april2018 will be flying BA-coded flights on the GLA-LGW and LGW-GLA sectors and will earn for those in exactly the same way as if the ticket were a BA ticket for GLA-LGW-GLA alone - including cabin and status bonuses. The fact that CX issued the ticket is irrelevant.

yes you will, just make sure your BAEC number is in the booking. you may have already added it in when making the booking, but if not you can go on manage my booking on the cathay website and add it.

Oops, that was a cut and paste typo from the Dashboard, so, just like the song by Rag n Bone Man
"I'm only human after all, I'm only human after all, don't put the blame on me, don't put the blame on me"

AIUI the GLA-LGW flights will earn TP's but not any bonus Avios. Happy to be corrected!

It's the BA code that's the important information. The fact that CX sold the ticket or that there are other flights in the itinerary which have CX codes simply doesn't matter.

Was very pleased to just tick over 1500 TP a couple of days ago and got my first "First" experiance at LHR on my way to Munich.
On the flight back was very surprised to have the CSM came over to say "Welcome to Gold, let me know if you need anything". Immediately asked for a glass of champagne and was obliged once we had taken off.
Was very surprising as from boarding it was clear there were a lot of Gold+ card holders on the flight.

We can all do that sometimes. Thanks for the edit - I've now edited the redundant bit out of my post.

Transfer from Avios to BA Executive Club account
If you contact Avios will they allow you to transfer Avios from your BA Executive Club household account to your Avios account and vice versa? Thank you.
I contacted Avios. They said that this only applies if you have an Avios household account, not a BA household account.

Yes, use the earnings calculator and input LHR-MIA on IB, and MIA-CUN on AA.

I don't think that's what calpelion meant. I read that as they opened a new BAEC account in March 2018, they had to start from scratch for lifetime TPs, as you would with a new account. (It's repeatedly mentioned as one of the things that happens if you voluntarily close your existing account and then open a new one.)
What I do wonder, though, is if their old account was completely closed due to lengthy inactivity, rather than because they positively asked for it to be closed, whether it might be possible for BAEC to trace the lifetime TP total as at that date and add it to the new account. I can understand why BAEC wouldn't be keen to do that if the closure of one account and the opening of a new one is to do with changing the membership year end date, but if the old account was closed due to simple inactivity then I wonder whether BAEC might look more favourably on such a request.
