well it seems not every Gold or Silver is on FT. Some of our fellow BA Exec Club members are confused and reporting it on twitter.

Did your friend get a response on Twitter?

I dont use Twitter ... must admit ... I don’t know how to use it.

i agree with others here... communication from The BA management should have been sent out.

Twitter is the best way to complain, praise or get things done for you without the need to go through the call center. Click on that tweet and you‘ll see BA‘s answer and some of the reactions of other passengers. BA said it was a trial but not available on every flight.

Thanks ... I’ll stay with this forum. I’ve never had any problems with GGL line to sort out any issues.

I dont see the need to post on Twitter (if I knew how to, I still would not.)

I do however find it bizarre that this GGL member who has access to Lounges before their flights have a need to rant on Twitter that they did not get a free drink on this trial when their lowly Gold friend did on a different route.

Really? .... If you are GGL .... you can buy yourself a drink on BoB. 😊

Edited... Also my opinion is that this is actually abusing Twitter service. A GGL not getting a free drink in ET on a non trial route is wasting BA resources. Flight delays, cancellations, diversions etc are more important.

He is more than welcome to join this forum.

Its a Trial on a few routes. Don’t know what routes. I simply ask the CC and expectation is set. :-)

very true, did not get the opportunity and obviously today was not a trial run. No expectations, just curious.

Lets hope it’s rolled out across the SH network soon as a permanent benefit. Granted pre BoB, it was a norm. :-)

The ET crew have a printout of all Silvers, Golds and GGL. I happened to talk to them before takeoff and asked if they were doing the trial. They said yes. And then as they are doing the service, they say a drink is complimentary for you Mr/Ms YYY and also complementary for a travelling companion.

Simples :-)
