Business travel
Hi all, possibly silly question but I used to work externally as a contractor for my current employer which meant I booked all my business travel direct and accrued all TPS/avios as it if it were personal travel. my company have now hired me direct and insist on Airfare booked via a corp travel agent (CWT), however on my first booking, a relatively insignificant trip to cork, I have added my BAEC deets to their booking ref and adding this to my bookings in my personal BAEC app it ‘can’t be found’ is this because it’s part of a corp agreement and I should not expect TPs/avios for business travel anymore or is this just a glitch I need to pursue? thanks, TMM |
Sounds like a glitch.
|
On another subject, are you a Zappa fan ? |
Thanks will pursue, apologies for ignorance don’t understand Zappa reference, but no. TMM |
Try going to the BA website and using the "find a booking" made by a travel agent. Also, check the CWT confirmation for the BA (carrier) booking reference - not the CWT internal reference which is no use to anyone else. Often visible near the flight details and not at the top of the info from the travel agent.

Do BA fly to Cork? If this is an EI flight sold as a BA codeshare then I wonder if this could relate to the problem?
|
Yeah it’s EI but I should get (minimal) TPs etc thanks for info I might be inputting incorrect reference let me check. |

Was the flight sold as a BA flight number or EI?
(I don't think you'd expect to see it in the BA app unless it was sold by BA) |

(I don't think you'd expect to see it in the BA app unless it was sold by BA) its not the end of the world if I get nothing, but I’ll be travelling on these small hops quite regularly so could add up. |
What is the actual flight number in the booking? BAxxxx or EIxxx. It matters for earning. As does the fare bucket. Also check in the ‘how many avios and tier points will I earn’ tool on the BA website. |
CWT use several tools as part of their offering to corporate customers but as far as I know all of them do successfully populate the relevent frequent flyer fields in Amadeus with your BAEC number. If that is populated, everything else falls into place. So assuming this is either a glitch or under EI prime numbers (and I suspect CWT would suggest prime as being the cheapest) more generally you should be able to use CWT and see the booking - even before ticketing - in the App and My Executive Club. You could login to My Executive Club and then try manually adding the PNR (not CWT's top line PNR, the PNR shown against the flight) to see what comes up. But if it's an EI prime booking on their GDS, then there may not be anything for the App / My Executive Club to find in Amadeus.

I am meant to use CWT for all of my work bookings - most of the time they are cheaper with our corporate deal and I have never had a problem with my BAEC number appearing in the bookings. Have you completed "My Travel Profile" fully?
