  Did a AMS -> LHR -> YYC -> LHR -> CPH last summer and ditched the final leg. No backlash from BA. Although I was hand luggage only which made it easier. I think I would do it again in future but only if the price difference was substantial.

    I did MAN-LHR-BOS-LHR-MAN and ditched the last flight back up to Manchester too. Never heard any more of it either. Hand baggage only too. That was a strange one anyway as to why adding a domestic leg on would make it cheaper, surely the taxes would be the same? It was almost half price

  I recall in August 2016, buying a mis-priced BA First Class flight from Prague to Mexico City for just under £500. I thought BA would cancel it, so I bought it on the AA website. When I departed Prague, a got ‘beeped’ at the gate, and the gate lady said I would likely be downgraded to economy in London, but I carried on. After that, no-one else questioned me at any step of the journey. Even after doing LHR to Mexico in BA First, and then Mexico to LHR via JFK in AA Biz. DID I DROP THE LAST LEG to PRAGUE? Hell yeah! Because I needed to get back home to Belfast 🙂 I always try and buy all of my BA or OW tickets on the AA website now. It’s a hell of a lot easier on the eyes for a start. I did receive a letter from BA a few months later. Instead of dropping down to silver, BA kindly comped me Gold for another year. So sometimes missing the last leg can result in good things!!!!

  I’ve checked out a couple of dates in November but going through the booking process it doesn`t give me the option to upgrade to CW, or is that because the dates I’m choosing don’t have CW availability or do I have to upgrade after I have purchased the ticket, subject to availability?

  • AndyR says:

    You can only upgrade if there is Avios availability. You can usually do it during booking or after up to you.

  OT – just had an email from virgin with the below:

  Quick! We’re having a flash reward seat sale to Miami, and these savings are big. We’re talking 40% off – so you can book a return flight to Florida from 57000 miles return in Upper Class plus taxes, fees and carrier-imposed surcharges.

  These fabulous fares are only available on flights to and from Miami between 14 February and 14 March 2018, so grab them while you can!

    Interesting, the Economy miles have come down to 7,500 from 12,500…but the cash element has increased from £195 to £246…..when a “sale” really isn’t a sale!
    However, for Premium Economy and Upper, the cash elements have not increased….so some good miles savings to be had.

  OT-took a risk and self referred myself from platinum card to BAPP and got the 18k referral points about five days later! Then i added my husband as an additional card holder after i received my BAPP card and got 3k avios too. Im kicking myself i didnt do this for his additional platinum card – missed 5k MR!

  Is it possible to upgrade at WTP ticket (T class) that I’ve also part paid with Avios?

  • Polly says:

    Try it online first, then worth a call. If it was a ticket reduced by using avios, it might work. As that’s a cash fare. No harm in trying.

  Marriott working against me as I am sitting on a 7 day travel package but don’t know dates I can go and they move the hotel from 5 to 6 which will cost me another 30,000 Marriott points.

  Swearing under my breath as I thought we’d dodge this bullet – in truth, I didn’t know about it until it was too late but it hurts.

    Oh that’s a shame.
    I am.sitting on SPG points with the intention to redeem for a Marriott Travel Package but do need a little under 10k more for what I want (or wanted, will have to check the changes more closely).
    Need to get the SPG Amex for the extra 10k miles.
