It looks like British Airways has kicked off its 100th birthday celebrations, although it has been kept very much wraps.
At noon yesterday BA launched its special ‘£200 return’ flights to selected destinations in Economy / World Traveller. This deal will run until Thursday, with two new destinations launched each day at noon.
More interesting, however, is the 2019 Avios which are mysteriously appearing in British Airways Executive Club accounts!
Some people – and my wife and I are NOT among them – received 2,018 Avios from British Airways on their birthday last year. It isn’t clear what you had to do to receive these (my wife and I are both BA Gold) but we clearly didn’t do it!
If you received 2,018 birthday Avios from BA last year on your birthday, it seems that you should have received 2,019 Avios from British Airways yesterday to celebrate BA’s 100th birthday.
Why? Who knows? It is a generous gesture, although now you’ve read about this – and realised that you haven’t got them – the net balance of ‘people who now feel happier towards BA’ versus ‘people who now feel grumpier towards BA’ may not be positive ….!

Not sure about Avios, but I did get a suprise 2000 Virgin miles on my birthday. Which was nice.
Virgin have always been very good about that IME 🙂
I’m Blue and got both, perhaps it it a reverse status thing…
Grrrrr…. 🙁
