Will I lose 1A?
Hi
Booked in F later in May LHR to JNB on the 747 service, so as Gold grabbed 1A to experience ‘the nose’.
However my Gold expires on 30 April, and I only did enough last year for Silver from 1 May.
Will I be bumped from 1A as a result of the status change?
Thanks in advance.

I agree with mikeyfly that 1A is not very private in relation to 1K. Yes the 1A experience is pretty unique but if travelling alone I agree that 2A/2K offer a better option.

I would characterise it as a possibility if the flight is at the start of May, a probability from mid May, but not a certainty for any date. If your second best seat is available, I would go for that instead and then try to get 1A from T-72 hours onwards, but not before.
