Important 2026 dates for British Airways Club Members
Was just thinking that 2026 will have some interesting dates for BAC members.
Wednesday 1st April is the 1st year anniversary of the new BAC and nTPs.
Thursday 30th April is the FINAL day of ClubGold and ClubSilver status for a lot of BAC members and there are stories of people planning trips on 30/4/26 to use First/Business Lounges for the last time before their ClubGold/ClubSilver status are downgraded to ClubSilver/ClubBronze/ClubBlue and also the date we will confirm whether or not BA will offer SOFT LANDINGS.
Friday 1st May 2026 will be the day ClubGold status becomes VERY EXCLUSIVE INDEED. I predict First Lounges will be virtually empty while Business Lounges are overcrowded.

The net change for Gold will be close to nil
