hmh, thats odd...
"This includes all domestic flights in the UK, and within southern Africa. Also included are our British Airways flights operated by our partners, American Airlines, Iberia and Finnair, when travelling between Europe and North America."
i know that different languages have different understandings of lists and i know the oxford komma.
But as I read this this includes
this therefore excludes any non domestic BA flights?
and why is this promo UK/US only?

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand this statement?
3.3. Double Avios is awarded on the first ten Qualifying Flights that are flown post registering and booking. The order of booking does not determine the order in which the Double Avios for the Qualifying Flights are awarded.
Obviously a flight can only be flown post booking. So does it mean that you get double Avios as long as you fly after registering, regardless of when you booked it?

A) Register today
B) Tomorrow, I book 10 longhaul F flights for Dec 2020 *
C) Saturday, I book 10 shorthaul Y flights for Nov 2020
I will be awarded double Avios on the 10 shorthaul Y flights only, as they were the first 10 I flew, not the first 10 I booked.
I do not take it to mean it would apply to bookings made pre-registration, although sometimes BA IT giveth!
*chance would be a fine thing!

2.5. The promotion cannot be used retrospectively. The promotion only applies to those who register, book and travel during the Promotion Period and Travel Period.

I doubt trying to book using an FTV will give the bonus as from BA's point of view these are essentially free changes to an existing booking.

Sorry to say that this is unimpressive to say the least.
You have to book before the end of August and all flights must be flown by the end of the year. So you have to book during a period when there is even more uncertainty over the virus, BAs actual flight planning and the ability to actually be able to enter a wide range of BA destinations.
And, as others have said, it doesn't cover a booking I made four months ago.
Seems like a PR stunt (look we gave you a year extension and double air miles...).
