I have read on various forums ( one mile at a time ) that last year QR changed their lounge access policy to include only those on a full fare ( highest fare bucket) would be given access and those in business on ‘light’ fares and non revenue tickets denied access to the main lounge. In London you wouldn’t have access to the newly reopened lounge but would have access to premium plaza. When did you fly.

I am struggling to understand what BA can/cannot do when rerouting.
I can see flights available on the Qatar website but they are not showing on ba.com
My flight numbers are BA codeshare. Should these flights be allowable for rebooking?

when I rebooked I was not offered any flights available on BA.COM as they were not I class fares...only those showing on Qatar which actually suited me better

The flights I saw on QR were both in I class, but I don't know how relevant that would be.
Edit: incredibly helpful agent rang Qatar and openend up availability for me so I am finally rebooked back to LHR and allowed to make second change to booking free of charge. Result.

I thought I'd see if BA have reintroduced direct BKK flights and searched in google. I was quite surprised that google results revealed "We operate non-stop flights from London Heathrow to Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport" on BA's website. But when I looked further and attempted a booking it revealed in fact they do not fly direct. I do wonder what reason they'd have for leaving this misinformation on the website? I'd be embarrassed if I did it.

Looks like BA dodged a bullet with this route as Thailand have brought back in Vaccination requirements on 2 days notice. Completely understand why they’ve binned off this route - and also sympathise with people who will just choose other places to go now.

In fact I currently have confirmed bookings that take me to BKK 7 times this year, and I'm quite happy to proceed with them (at this stage).

I think people are severely over-reacting to the news out of Thailand. There is no blanket ban on unvaccinated people as many made it sound.

According to the CAAT, everyone travelling to the country from Sunday must show proof of full vaccination or a letter certifying that they have recovered from Covid-19 infections no more than six months prior. Unvaccinated travellers must have proof of why they cannot receive a vaccine.

Was just looking at options for March/April to BKK and KUL, will now hold off even though we are fully vaxed, problem being what else they will throw into the mix at the last minute?
You cannot sensibly protect from covid and keep your tourist industry robust, even the Chinese dictatorship failed. All this will do is deter people from booking due to uncertainty.
