Big drop in taxes (RFS now on Longhaul Club)
Just tried to book a Club reward ticket to Johannesburg and the taxes have come down dramatically to £450.
On digging a bit more, have found that LA is £350, New York £350, Singapore £600.
So BA now have Reward Flight Saver on longhaul.
A big positive move in my opinion.

Yes it appears so. Not sure whether the figures from GSOP are peak or off peak btw.

Ok, well that's even worse then!
Effectively there is no reduction in TFC as such, they are just allowing you to reduce TFC by paying more avios then you used to.
