Being just under 2/3 of the way to GGFL, I worked out it’d take me around another 10 years of flying at the same level to get there.
The thought didn’t appeal!
I wonder if they will drop it eventually as I just can’t see general flight levels returning to pre Covid levels for at least 5 years?

Pre Covid I was about 5 years away from it hitting it. Now I'm not sure I'll get there but time will tell.

So, forgive me if i'm being a bit thick here, but it's been a long day at work and I am still unclear despite reading the wiki.
I'm a bronze, with a collection year end date of 8th December, and whos status is showing as valid until Jan 2023 (so everything there is as it should be). The scheduling and cancellation gods willing, i'll complete some domestic flights in June which will take me to silver at the reduced TP threshold (450), which i'm assuming will keep me at the same valid until jan 2023 end date. I have (Covid-permitting) a trip in October which will take me to gold (again, at the reduced threshold of 1125TPs) and which I again expect will remain vaild until jan 2023.
Two questions. 1 - is my assumption above (being permitted to fly as planned notwithstanding) correct, and 2 - are the renewal requirements for gold in 2022 going to be at the reduced TP threshold (as per BA's current extension), or will they revert back to the full 1500TPs after my year end collection date?
Thanks

2- No, for your tier year between 9 December 2021 and 8 December 2022, you would need to earn the regular amount for each tier ( 300/600/1500/5000 TP's respectively ). However, there might be further changes in the future. This is how it stands at the moment.

I suppose it's more likely to be people flying for business - a lot! Getting down to £1 per TP is getting pretty convoluted and can take a lot of time! Not ideal for business travel.
If any GGLFL are on here, we'd like to hear your story. PM me first if you've any spare nominations
