I used to think having even BAEC Silver status must mean you spend and fly a lot with BA. Since finding this forum I now know that's not necessarily the case.

I suspect there are quite a few Silver members who spend more on BA than some GGLs.

I totally agree that the situation was not handled in an approriate way by BA. I was just trying to dig in if there was any reason to put other passenger ahead of the OP when it came down to the musical chairs.

I would like to let everyone know, that as much as they screwed up on the rebooking, BA handled the complaint very professional.
Within 24h of my complaint I got a call to excuse for the mess, ask for my details for my EU261 compensation and offer me a one way upgrade voucher valid for a year.
Unfortunately they didn't know why things happened and I pointed out again the closed ticketing desk and the problems involved.
Thank you guys for the input and listening.
Can I change the title of the thread in well compensated 🤔

It is pleasing that you are satisfied with what they have offered you.
Service Recovery after a snafu is so important, and BA have not been universally good with this is their reign of austerity.

I'm glad the service recovery is acceptable. I hope (but won't hold my breath) that they would solve the issues that created the need for the service recovery.
