HHA avios redemption for a minor
Hi.
I checked the sticky post on avios for this but couldn't find answer. I'm in HHA with 3 family members. However, cannot add my 17 year old. According to avios guide, I can only redeem reward flights for people in the HHA. Is this strictly true and what can I do for the 17yo? Can it be resolved by calling BA directly?
Thanks a kot

... which I now see is a bit odd as BA Ts & Cs say "3.1. Individuals who are 18 years of age or over may apply for Membership." - I have how that happened.

That would seem to be the formal answer to TTmex's original question about how to get the 17 year-old into the HHA, although adding them to the F&F list may be a sufficient workaround for the time being (as you don't have to be a BAEC member to be on the F&F list, and the passenger wouldn't earn any Avios or TPs for the award flight that is contemplated).

Membership via a HHA is the only way that an under-18 can be a BAEC member.

Appreciate the help
