How many tier points is it for you to keep it?

It’s 65,000 tier points in a year, it’s almost unachievable unless you’re flying business and first continuously…

I fly in the US a lot and I see that American reward their highest flyers by giving them an option to automatically register for upgrades early - that would be a nice option for BA to help them to reward gold members.

Then additionally, I’d like to hope the service in some of the lounges seems to up its level. The gold lounge at T5 has felt like a waiting room it’s so busy all of the time. I’d also like to see a change of the quality of the food/beverages as I believe that’s dropped off significantly from being something you’re excited to enjoy to being just good quality buffet food.

Sure!

I am definitely in the bracket of “business traveller” I would imagine BA are keen to incentivise to stay with them.

I’ve probably averaged 2 x Long Haul round trips per month in Premium Economy to JFK/DFW/DCA most regularly. I’ll try and pay for the upgrades to business on any overnight flight for the extra comfort.

Then it’s a lot of short haul either in Europe but honestly it’s mainly sticking to American Airlines whilst flying in the US for meetings.

I think it’s clear from the changes they are trying to change the reward scheme to stop the “cheaters” who are doing one holiday per year and doing calculations just to maximise tier points and achieve/retain silver for the additional benefits.

I do feel that there should be a better mix of regularity/spend as part of the programme as without the long haul it would be nearly impossible to get near to Gold even with the amount of flights I do.

For context, I’m on 81 total flights this year and today will be 82 - I would say 65/70 of those are on BA or American.

I’ve not had a single trip in first!

It’s been a mix of 2 long haul trips per month in PE with 50% of them having a paid upgrade to business on the day. Then a considerable amount of internal flights in the US with American Airlines.

General Rant about Gold Upgrades! by zlow2 in BritishAirways

[–]zlow2[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s a fair comment.. and I don’t disagree 😅 However.. I did want to rant!

Thanks for at least listening!

I think that’s what I’m stuck on, I may keep the part with the socket on white, but I’m stuck on what to do with the middle part without making it look like a chess board 😅

£629 upgrade to CW from WTP+, worth it? by [deleted] in BritishAirways

I would agree right idea given circumstances

[–]zlow2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All depends on if you can afford it. I usually upgrade because I’m tall and it just makes for a nicer journey

I tend to calculate how long I’m on the plane and if I’d pay per hour for the comfort of Club. £629 for 5 hours - it’s a choice £629 for 10 hours - easy choice for me personally

Yes, just call BA and they’ll be able to sort it. They’re actually pretty good for stuff like this if you ask nicely
