Anyone with crystal balls

Looking say six month ahead when hopefully things will be starting to return to more normal times.

What is the feeling on BA policy with regard to Reward (Avios) flight availability?



Will they dramatically reduce the number of available reward seats to increase revenue or will they keep them the same to attract people back to the idea of flying.

I am leaving out the traditional holiday destinations as they have a different criteria for reasons to travel.

I am thinking of the more non holiday destination ie America JFK ORD DFW etc excluding Orlando etc.

Any thoughts?

With so much time to hand they have never been so shiny.

If loads remain light, Long Haul Reward seats are a useful source of income for the airline.

Don’t rule yourself out, I prefer the warm breath and polish method.

Hi, CeeGee. Apart from CIHY’s gleaming orbs, there is absolutely no way anyone’s balls of whatever material can guess anything about anything in this context.

Will the country accept visitors? Will the airline operate that route? Will you be designated an essential traveller? Will you have to go into 14-days Q on arrival?

Be a realist, accept you’re unlikely to go anywhere in 2020 at whatever price ... and crack the champagne if you can actually go flying somewhere.

Darling - don't be fooled. The only luster on his cluster is from the Christmas Sparkle spray, That's why he walks oddly.
