GUF1 ex-EU & B2B OSL Advice
Hello,
I have a trip to HKG & MEL to take in May. Looking at this route: -
LHR - OSL BA Y (BA766 ARR 1615) Positioning Flight
OSL - LHR BA J (BA767 DEP 1705)
LHR - HKG BA J -> F GUF1
HKG - MEL CX J
MEL - HKG CX J
HKG - LHR BA J -> F GUF1
LHR - OSL BA J
Questions are, can I use the GUF1 on a ticket that has CX tin on it as well? I intent to use a TA to book it on a 125 ticket.
And, what is the latest feedback on the B2B at OSL for the 1615 arrival and 1705 departure?
Thanks

Not sure how the whole GUF works....but will be on BA32 today having flown CX from MEL and am using a GUF to fly F.
Will try to remember my efforts tomorrow as I B2B through OSL for the first time in a while. (Oh how I miss SVG and BGO.)

For searchable reference...
It is not possible to apply the GUF1 voucher to the booking via a TA as the itinerary has non BA operated segments in it. I can however apply the GUF1 at a later stage via BA direct if redemption availability opens up in the F cabin for the legs or I use a GGL Joker to force the availability. (Experts please correct me if I'm wrong!)
Thanks for all the comments people.

Arrived on BA762 at 10:45 AM. The immigration hall was all but empty. I stayed on the left hand side following signs for non Schengen transfer. I had to go to one of the passport check desks, the non EU ones, and explained that I needed to use the non Schengen route. The officer made a call presumably to security and an officer arrived and let me through to the transfer security section. I was back at the gate just after 11:00 in plenty of time to board the 11:35 BA763 to LHR.
I suspect it would also have been no issue had I gone through the EU passport. control and finished up in the Schengen area and had to return through immigration.
The only time I have been a little concerned previously was when. a US flight arrived just before the BA flight and the immigration hall was packed.
