Current methods to check fare/booking class availability:

If you are requesting flight load / class availability, please provide the following:

1. Actual travel date (don't say tomorrow, or similar, as that is ambiguous given the global flyertalk membership)

2. Departure and arrival airport codes

3. Flight number

Thanks!

Points well spent in my opinion

My only one time to DXB was an exDUB in WTP for just £216 using a few Avios to reduce the price, I got bumped to J both ways

This might be the wrong thread, but my question can be answered by someone who has the EF subscription.

What is the current MCT lax aa/AA d/d (not eagle)?
I will have my flights in two separate reservations and will book with 2 or 3 x MCT for a generous connection.

Thanks,

LcS

Please could someone kindly comment on how busy BA2559 is for 25/09 (KGS>LHR). Seat map shows most seats as unavailable and I'm thinking of upgrading, if the higher cabin is less busy, which it probably will not be given recent trends. On the outbound I was in CE and utilisation was high. In contrast ET was sparse, making it a better cabin, especially having the exit rows.

Thanks. With Y5 and B3 I can only presume this is at least quite a busy flight, if BA won't sell more than five tickets at full fare, or 3 at almost full fare.

Hi - could someone kindly check the following BA flights between London and Toronto?
3-Oct 2021 LHR > YYZ
BA 93 or 99

9-Oct 2021 YYZ > LHR
BA 92 or 98

When I checked Business fares on Thursday 23rd these were about £2,200 GBP... by Saturday 25th they shot up to £7,300 GBP! And future dates all show basically the same price, even a dull Wednesday in November. Feels like a mistake?
Thanks!
