  OT: how quickly does a BA 241 voucher post? Is it as soon as you hit the min spend, or is it at the end of the month after you have paid the balance?

    Just after you hit the spend target…

  The every hotel Piccadilly was on Amex offers some time ago – the offer is valid till the end of March, I believe.

  Raffles – you have made my day! At last, flights from City to Berlin; cutting maybe an hour of my regular trip to Heathrow from south-east London. I could dance with joy!

  OT. I got stung by BA yesterday. I bought a one way LHR-BCN for the wife on BA.com for £105. Stupidly, only then did I check price elsewhere and exactly the same flight was £75 on vueling.com. Can I complain to BA? shame it’s non refundable.

    Isn’t there a 24/h cooling off period with BA bookings?

  • Stuart F says:

    If it was yesterday, just cancel it for a full refund:
    “If you made your booking with British Airways and you notice a mistake after you have paid for your ticket(s), you can cancel your flight booking and claim a full refund without penalty, up to 24 hours from when you made the original booking. Refunds under these circumstances can only be requested by calling our contact centres.”

    Brilliant, thanks guys. Cancelled and rebooked with vueling directly. Very disappointing that BA is g charging 40% more for exactly the same flight!

      Probably different farecode.

      It’s exactly the same with Lufthansa and Eurowings – if you price up a flight on the Lufthansa site, you’ll get a much more expensive quote for Eurowings flights than if you go to the EW website. Good to know that going to Vueling direct is also cheaper.

  So the Hamburg routes is actually going to be operated by Eastern Airways via a wet lease. Much like the IOM route is at the moment.

  OT but does anyone who has a Lloyds Avios amex know how long after the statement they normally post you Avios?

    I find they’re pretty quick, often have already hit the account by the time I’ve checked my statement. You normally get a notification email when they’ve been transferred across.
