Does BA think I’m a total idiot?
Have a decent amount of Avios but using them is the rub, eh? Looked at booking Club w/ cash and upgrading with Avios LAX-LHR-MRS return but only upgrading to first LAX-LHR (next April). Total tally came to: 51,000 Avios PLUS $37,000! How does that algorithm work? I could book first class return for less than a third of that with cash! |
It is an intelligence test. BA is timing you to see how long it takes before you pick up the phone to get a more plausible quote.
|
I think the answer to your question rather depends on whether you paid the $37000 or not...

IT and pricing glitches like this happen all the time.
The usual recommendation is to clear your cache and start again. |

The usual recommendation is to clear your cache and start again. Well done all. How hard would it be to simply type “it’s likely to be a IT error” and leave it at that? Pathetic and childish. |
Now, laddies! It’s all good clean intardnet fun. The sad bit is I’ve tried a number of permutations on a theme of BA spin-the-bottle and all I ever get is “You’re buggered, mate, thanks for your business!” My takeaway is it might serve to just call,eh? |

I guess we have a saying here.. What goes around comes around.
A polite introduction and a curious question gets a decent answer.. Its not what you say but how you say it. And some answers were quite amusing.. |
Wow, those BA surcharges and award booking fees got out of hand, eh? :D

yes, it's not encouraging to new posters when their early messages are met with sarcasm and quite unwarranted criticism.

Seat selection fees included? The $37K consists entirely of seat selection fees (as per revised scales) Gotta claw back that nasty Data Breach fine somehow ........ |

Right. Now you’ll think me a total idiot but how do I clear an IPAD cache? The only thing that I know how to clear out are bores in bars or Flounges. Darling OP. This pricing nonsense is one of the most infuriating facets of daily life with BA. I keep getting a message saying that it can’t find all my flights and sometimes they all vanish. It drives me to drink. Memo to self - does one need a license? |
