AVIOS SALE! 50% off long haul redemptions, 25% off short haul
Heads up, before the emails go out, that BA has just launched a massive Avios sale.
50% off ALL long haul routes, in all classes. 25% off short haul.
Travel by the end of June 2021. Full taxes and charges due (of course!). BA metal only. One-way or return flights are OK. Book by 13th October.
The big snag is that you can't use a BA Amex 241 voucher with this, although you could rebook existing 241 voucher bookings to free up a voucher to use in the future. It turns that you can, despite the small print, use a 241 voucher. I'm not sure about Lloyds vouchers.
There is a real incentive to rebook existing bookings to free up a big chunk of Avios .....

This DOES work with a 241 voucher. Not sure if that is the plan (BA told me it wouldn't) but you can book .....
June is a long way away, for those willing to gamble on paying the 35 cancellation fee.

So I currently have a long haul WT+ booking. I could now go in CW for slightly fewer Avios and slightly more cash. That's a no-brainer. Any thoughts on whether I could do this as a "change" in one go over the phone or am I looking at two bookings and then cancelling the first?
