Oneworld Sapphire Benefits
Firstly apologies if this is posted somewhere, I've looked on the Oneworld website and searched within this sub thread to no joy...
I'm currently BA Silver (Sapphire), am I correct in thinking if I book an Economy Classic ticket I get the following benefits:
- 1 extra bag (upto 23kg)
- A free seat reservation including Economy Comfort on the Long Haul and Short Haul legs
- Lounge access
Thanks in advance

Many thanks for this - appreciate it. I'll get my booking in shortly.
I'm wondering how busy the route will be (SIN-HEL-LHR), I'm not sure quite how many people are travelling into Singapore given the current restrictions.

The bag and lounge access will not be an issue. Free Economy Comfort hasn't been available for Sapphire for many years now, you can however select exit rows but AY is currently planning to enhance that away as well. If you select it before the policy change, you should be fine but OLCI might make you cough up money.
Looks like I might have missed the free extra legroom option, although it is now suggesting free comfort seats are an option? I might brave the chat bot again...
Advance seat reservation
You can pre-select a seat through manage booking with these exceptions:- Flights departing before 19 January 2022: the benefit includes also Extra Legroom seats but excludes Comfort seats.
- Flights departing from 19 January 2022 onwards: the benefit includes also Comfort seats but excludes Extra Legroom seats.

Thanks - my hope it the flight would be fairly empty, that said SQ and BA were pretty much full when I flew Q3 & early Q4. I don't imagine Singapore will loosen their vice like grip on the border anytime soon so tourists won't be coming from Europe...

There was a thread earlier talking about the changes written in vague language, considering the launch of PE. I guess we’ll need to see what actually applies.

Thanks - with BA now flying the 787 on SIN-LHR and the reduced capacity i'll give AY a go, getting into LHR a few hours later is actually better for me.
