Snap. I noticed last week my return opened up (Tuesday) then on Saturday (1st June) the outbound came on. There was even 5 x First Class to Vancouver showing at T-355 on A380!

HfP mat have killed it. Not slating the site at all by the way

Thank you BA for saving me a joker... As the old adage goes: you've got to make hay while the sun shines.

New York has all gone but Boston still has loads and I’m booking that for me and my two brother in laws with avios and a 241.
However, it looks like the wife won regards upgrading my New York trip.....ie, it ain’t happening now. ��
(as per my other thread)

CWLCY to JFK (which is still available) and ORD-LHR in F on the A380 (which is not) booked for my dad and I to do a trip next April. Sleeper room on the Amtrak Lakeshore service to get us between the two.

Looking forward to it!

I upgraded an Avios redemption from J to F on the 1st when I noticed the availability. Slightly worried that I haven’t been charged and it hasn’t been ticketed yet.

I’m the same! I upgraded inbound on 29th and had the Avios debited from my account. Upgraded the outbound on 1st but no Avios debited. I’ve got seats confirmed in First on both legs so not sure if I should call BA to tell them of the error or chance it.

What do we think? Can BA push us both back to J?

I’m not sure. They have taken the Avios so that makes me feel a tiny bit better.

Even changing it to wanting 6 seats in First with Avios redemption i can pick almost any day, have they changed the rules so redemption have access to the same seats as full price? I've never ever seen so many seats available.
I was expecting to have to use a GGL redepemtion for a F class seat in late July/early August but yeah you are right 3-6+ seats available on almost every LHR-JFK. It’s nice to have your pick of any flight.

I have never seen LON-NYC so unavailable for a short notice Club World redemption. No returns available in June at all.

Judging by the trajectory of this thread, what BA Gods giveth, the BA Gods taketh away...
