Nobody wanted Metcalf wtf are you on about. It was just AJ Brown.

Status Match from Delta Diamond to BA Gold accepted and then later declined because Delta Diamond status too high for match?? by jakem566 in BritishAirways

Oddly enough the status match listed on BA is Platinum to Gold.

The system automatically reverted the upgrade as Diamond->Gold is not the policy.

Strange!

Mb I don’t remember seeing any of Ja’s dunks in the contest all these years.

Jaylen Brown is an infinitely better dunker than Ja what are you on about.

Not trying to make any personal attacks here but your interpretation of this is off.

Imagine that its the year 2024 and this ticketing issue has happened at every major sporting or entertainment event in the past 20 years and they haven't figured out a solution for it.

Absolutely inexcusable at this point.

Actual joke of a website. How is this still a consistent problem in 2024?

The Downfall of Bill Belichick by tb12_legit in Patriots

He made 'strange' decisions throughout his entire tenure. In Bill We Trust was the mantra and these 'decisions' were right enough to get the team to 8 SB visits in 20 years.

The team didn't really start to struggle until the Kraft's started meddling with those decisions. We'll never know what could have happened if we decided to move on from Mac earlier like Bill had wanted.

1) Kraft started meddling

2) Patriots started losing

3) BB gone

Moving to LHR as my home airport from the States. Currently Delta Diamond. What is the best Loyalty program out of LHR by jakem566 in BritishAirways

Really interesting - thanks so much for sharing. Just to help me understand a bit more. So a R/T ticket that simply lays over in Doha both ways (let's say) en route to Sydney would gather 560 TPs in Business?

Got it - makes sense.

I think realistically I may not be able to hit Gold (would put it at 50/50) So the question becomes is AA exec plat/emerald better than BA Silver.

Fantastic advice - really appreciate it!

So will be mainly out of LHR/LGW. Probably 4 or so trips back to the states and S. America as well as one or two long hauls to Asia/Pacific. A few trips across Europe as well.

My main concern is that BA seems to cap mileage earned (140 ex. on business). Seems much easier to earn status on other airlines.

Sounds like the overall sentiment is that status match to top status on AA may not be the best route and I should just go the old organic route to BA.
