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

Medium term, one Avios balance used across all IAG airlines.
Which entails a good number of floppy disks.

Yes, none of us saw that coming at all.

especially as they almost certainly should have finished yesterday (in proper planning you'd always announce the system to be down for longer than you would expect the work to take)

I'd expect they will be too busy writing up a suitably CYA worded post mortem on why there was such a publicly visible delay...

If I'd been been given free drinks for every project I'd been involved in that overran, I'd have been permanently drunk...

Although that could explain the public perception of people working in finance

Kind of, sort of.. X, P, U, Z codes are still there and bookable, by BA and partners. The inventory is still published, and obtainable, in the regular booking codes, but while oneworld partners can issue awards from their programmes as normal, BA agents currently have no idea whether you have only a single or even a million Avios as, just like us, they can’t see your profile either. They could book the space, but not be able to process anything...

The class mapping is something else, and is more to do with X being approx the same RevMan commercial yield value as say L, (and approx P to T, U to R, Z to A). It’s possible to see A/R/T/L and no Z/U/P/X - but very unlikely the other way round, with redemption space still being available if the corresponding revenue space is zero. I’m not privy to whether they are actually linked or not, but I think there’s something along those lines baked into the availability formula.

much like the gate guidance system being turned on or bags arriving to the belt in BER, it'll just be "a few more minutes"

If that is the case, really shocking - even by BA standards. What is up with them at the moment; don't even remember them being so hard to contact/so unreliable even back in the Cruz days, need to get it sorted and quick.

Agent on the GGL line advised it will be up and running 5pm today (not holding my breath).

Presumably it's all being done by IAG GBS, so Sean doesn't even have direct accountability and line of sight? It'll go via Luis?

Either way, five days for a database migration for a customer facing service such as this, is pretty awful, even by BA/IAG standards.

They are moving to a new platform. No changes to the customer experience.

Very open ended Do they mean the experience when traveling with them, or BA as a whole, including the BAEC experience? Probably the latter, but this is BA after all.
