Thanks. This utility is great ^
I've been checking the miles required for BA oneworld awards and noticed that sometimes the miles required for business class are shown as 2x economy and for first class 3x economy e.g. GRU-SFO-EDI Econ 90, Biz 180, First 270 Whereas on other routes business class is shown as 3x economy and first class 4x economy e.g. GRU-NYC-EDI Econ 60, Biz 180, First 240 Is this correct or is there a glitch in the utility? I've tried searching (britishairways.com, Google and FlyerTalk) for the rules on mileage required for businees / first class cabins on BA oneworld awards but without success. |

BA oneworld awards are for flights on * Two or more oneworld™ partner airlines, not including BA or * Three or more oneworld™ partner airlines, if the itinerary includes BA The information on the BA website https://www.britishairways.com/trave...g/public/en_gb only specifies the miles needed for the economy cabin on these awards, not business and first class. I don't know if it's safe to assume that the miles required are the same as for BA only / one partner awards i.e. 2x for business and 3x for first class. |

Thanks, but I think that information is for BA miles redemptions for flights on BA and/or one partner airline.

Ah, sorry. I misunderstood your question. Your answer should be towards the bottom of this post from the ultimate BA guide, a sticky on the BA forum.
The answer from that post is As with all awards, if you want to travel in business class, you need to multiply the miles you need by 2x, and if you want to travel in first, by 3x. |

The answer from that post is so the 3x for business class and 4x for first class shown in MileageMonkey is presumably incorrect. |

Seems so; it was only affecting sectors 4001-9000 miles, as all the others had the correct multiples. There is a 25000-35000 entry in the ba.com page which wasn't in the MM table, so I've added that too (140/280/420 '000 miles for Y/J/F). 0.95008 is uploaded now.

Beta 0.95009 is available
Version 1.1 of JPH's tool has been located :)
Version 0.95009 is a substantial change from 0.95008, incorporating (hopefully) all of the enhancements and corrections added to the 0.9500x releases, plus the additional enhancements which were added into 1.1 (such as the "List Countries" button, old QF program being stripped out, LA added, plus some fixes). To be clear, 0.95009 is a superset of both 0.95008 and 1.1. If you wish to try 0.95009 (and I'd encourage everyone to do so), you'll need to follow the link from the earlier post in this thread to the "Older and beta versions", and then select "Latest beta version". After a little while, I'll move it from beta and replace the 0.95008 version. Please give feedback in this thread, e.g. any issues encountered etc. |
VIE (Vienna) not in Europe

: LHR-VIE: intercontinental : VIE-HEL: intercontinental The author previously fixed this but I guess the current version in use is based on a 'pre-fix' version. |

Like the old version (so it presumably carried over from there) it thinks Vienna (VIE) is somewhere other than Europe so that, for example, LHR-VIE-HEL comes out as

So, LGW-TAB is restored; LHR-GCM is OK, but AFAICT BA don't fly LON-SXM? |
Sorry I got the saints mixed up, I meant UVF (St Lucia) not SXM (St Maarten).

Thanks for the great tool. Is there any way to specify surface segments?
|
yes, as in "-HNL-LAX,SFO-DFW-" for a LAX-SFO "Surface Segment"
