This is a bloody good deal and may provide the impetus to the missus to get my flight to SAN booked for spring break. The discount is real and works over the UK Easter holidays.

It might have been noted further up but does not work on AA code shares.

How do you get the voucher to work? Have been in via the app and the website and I still have no option to add a discount code

In the "Review your flights" page click on ADD next to "Apply an eVoucher, Use a promotional code or eVoucher". In the pop up box enter it under promotional code. You need to be signed in to your BAEC account to use the code.

Just to double check, looks like it isn't possible to cancel/rebook my existing booking at the cheaper price given it's an open jaw with a UUA?

Thanks KARFA. Looks possible on the website but not the BA app.

How are you all booking flights? Every time I try, I just face this page for infinity and it never loads.

Open another window. I had the same issue last night and a 2nd window did the trick.

I'm looking to book W with UUA to J. (LHR/JFK in Nov.) This can't be done all at once and get the 20% discount. Does anyone know if I book the base W fare, and get the discount, will that preclude me doing the UUA afterwards ?

So why did I get an e-voucher for a flight I cancelled yesterday and today tried the same trick for another flight only booking and got an FTV? Both flight only. OK got the answer, I used a discount code on the 2nd flight so it only generates an FTV aaaarghhhh! BA saying can't use FTV with this TeamGB1 code now, what a waste of time. So beware before cancelling you haven't used a discount code on the original booking!

Any bright ideas to suggest as the new booking is going to cost me more now?

I booked a flight late last night using both the 20% discount code and a FTV without an issue. Unless I’ve misunderstood it like sounds BA are tightening the rules.

Over the phone? Yes used an e-voucher ok yesterday. This woman I've got hadn't even heard of this code so I've asked to speak to a manager.

Ever since the voucher code email went out, the website is veeeeery slow for me when searching for flights and/or trying to add the voucher code.
