Hi guys,

This may be a common question. I've just got back from a holiday/points run from Vietnam which has put me on 630 tier points including 2 BA flights Syd-Sin. My app says I have only flown 2 of 4 segments but I have flown 4 on BA metal which are listed in my flight history. This is my first year as a BAEC member which is why I am confused because I had no problems when I became Bronze.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for any advice

It’s a known glitch. If you have done your four flights you will be fine. Just give it a couple of days to tick over.

The app is buggy when it comes to eligible flights. If it shows you have done your 4 on the website I wouldn’t worry. Status change usually happens a day after the flights post.

Thanks for your replies, that puts an end to a head ache ha

I'd advise to leave it 5 days since you took your 4th flight, log out the app and log back in. This forces it to verify information and ask if there's any new data associated to your account. This, more often than not, makes everything match up. MrsClam has an iphone, I have an android phone and her TP's usually update properly whereas I often find a logout/ in is required.

If it's still not there you could call up to ask them to verify your 4 sectors have registered their end but probably unneeded.

Also WELCOME TO SILVER! & congrats on achieving it. Enjoy those lounges and not having to pay to reserve a seat anymore( and remember it's now free to select said seat at time of booking, just please avoid selecting 2A-C on any flight you take in case you're on the same flight & steal our preferred seats at which point we'd obviously fall out lol)

Someone else with 2A-C as their favourites Close to the front, and stowage for the laptop bag

TWCLAM

Indeed. Also prefer not to have an armrest table. Being perennial Silvers we appreciate that row 1 is reserved for 'higher ups' on LH so don't even bother and yes row 2 means we can put laptops or bags under the seat so less faff getting them back out. No, rational, reason why but we much prefer the left side of the plane and even get miffed if we have to have 2D-F. SH obviously 2A-C gets you better chance on 1st choice on meals as well although tbf loading levels seem to have improved somewhat from when the catering was last changed.

Nothing wrong (or even unusual IMHO!) in preferring that side of the plane

HighwayToHEL

Agreed, although I recall reading some statistics that the right hand side is a more popular choice (https://thepointsguy.co.uk/2018/01/p...-of-the-plane/). I always prefer the left (my EDI> LHR > xxx routes are always always 2A, 1A, 1A, 2A, or similar). I have sometimes found myself in F or K and been quite disoriented

MSPeconomist

Some people alternate preferred side of plane on east to west versus west to east flights since they either want or do not want the sun coming in their window(s).

They must be the posh people.

Just booked flights to Palma next August and the only 2 seats already booked are 2A-C - had to go with 2D-F!

gypsyjaney

Don't worry, as others have commented, the App often needs a few days to catch up.

TWCLAM

Yes they are. I knew you were planning on going so I booked it and the seats purely to make my point! ( I jest)
