FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: Prospero
BUGS
1. Promotion to Gold Guest List (Markie)
2. More Gold Upgrades for 2 than there should be (Markie)
3. Flight details have same date for posting as for flight (Markie)
4. American Airline reward flights do not show and cannot be booked online(not sure if they can be booked by phone)
5. Combining avios points with IB is not possible. (alexphj)
6. TP collection year end on landing page shows card expiry date (i.e. end of following month). Correct under 'My Account' sub-menu. (NWIFlyer)
7. No household account although underlying data appears to still be there (many)
8. language set to english (german not available) (Nephoi)
9. AA Business R class domestic flight shows as Economy(R), but properly credits Avios+TP (El_Duderito)
10. Booking reference doesn’t display for partner flights eve though the tag is there (MaxFlyer)
11. Adding/editing contact phone number (for pax and/or additional contact) to 'Australia (+61)' once saved becomes 'Christmas Island (+61)'. (paulieuk)
12. Unable to logon using username - have to use BAEC number instead. (bakera)

'FEATURES'
1. Bronze/Silver/Gold members have some text formatted in Bronze/Silver/Gold text as applicable. Consensus seems to be that it's pretty, but hard to see…

ENHANCEMENTS
1. Additional detail of flights on Front Page (Markie)
2. Scroll back of transactions goes to October 2018 (Markie)
3. Household account redemptions appear differently, with pro-rate Avios transferred from other members into the head of HHA/redeeming member's account, then the total deducted. (sunshinebob) https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/33741742-post407.html

App not working (android) , this is pretty normal.
Nectar saying no avios transfer until tomorrow.
What a shambles. The it department should hang its head in shame.
I dare say half of FT trying to constantly log in to BAEC (for no reason other than to "check") is probably DDOS'ing their systems.

The last time that happened (unintentionally), people ended up sleeping on the terminal floor.

I understand it was beneficial for a number of members with the extensions granted as a result of the previous outage!

Let’s face it, BA and IT, it was always going to end up a S**tshow wrapped in Clusterf**k!

But they didn't mention which year for 18th November, gives them a bit of leeway

And I got €2400 compo from BA, another £500 from BAH, free changes to a nicer inbound flight, and 2 years extra free silver...

So yeah, go for it...

Ah yes, blame the users. Straight out of the IT playbook
