Ex-INV is under £600 return in WTP which is a decent price, but for the extra £400 in Club and got a UUA to F on the return, made more sense to go ex-CDG. Easier to get to CDG from the Midlands as well.

More August flights now loaded. Decent if not
spectacular WTP. CW is a bit "meh", not convinced award seats are fully loaded yet (lots of 3s which just looks... odd...)

Is that 3 seats (sorry if I'm missing something!) What dates are you seeing 3's for ratechaser? I'm looking but can only see 2 seats

Yes as in 3 seats available - here are some examples. Just looks odd as there should be 4 per flight and I'd be surprised if a lot of singles had already been booked...

For those looking for cheapo WTP in Sept / Oct... then hoping for J to open up (or maybe have GUFs)

JER-LHR-DXB / DXB-LHR

Only around £530 per person

Presume JER is a simple on and off affair like it used to be ? No COVID restrictions ?

I've also looked on Reward Flight Finder and that gives a completely different availability to BA (e.g. 2 CW seats on 19/08, on BA it's zero). I still err on the side of me being a technophobe though 😁

The only place for checking accurate reward space is laboriously on BA.com !!

Well so much for the BA Rewards App then! You'd have thought it might actually have been correct, what with it being "official" and all...

rarely used the app, just logged in and it seems to be matching ba.com now, though still a bit glitchy... I did call BA earlier to see if it was any different at their end, but they had a system failure, so maybe it's all linked.

as mikeyfly said, clicking laboriously through the website seems to be the only safe option!
