  Avios reward flight – if there are (say) 4 of you booked on a flight, can you cancel 1 of the seats to get a refund of Avios for that person? Keeping the other 3 seats.

  • BJ says:

    24 Apr24 April 18:57

    Yes.

  • Rob says:

    24 Apr24 April 20:45

    Yes, done it.

    • paul says:

      24 Apr24 April 21:07

      Do you have to call because I can’t see the option to only cancel one online?

      • BJ says:

        24 Apr24 April 21:17

        I called both times I did it. Even if it can be done online I wouldn’t risk it, too much at stake if mistakes are made.

        Thanks BJ

  Why anyone would risk using Best Avoided to / from India is beyond me… Even Air India do a better job eg. cleaning cabins, servicing IFE and loading enough food for all their customers.
  #flyabba if you want comfort, service or value because BA only care for your wallet and exploiting their dominance of London landing slots for every rupee they can.

    Better off with a ticket booked on BA than Jet though…

  • Sundar says:

    BA is the only airline that flies direct from UK to many Indian cities – Even Air India flies to key cities and remaining are connection flights
    That is valuable for many with young children, old parents who
    Personally, I avoid flying BA TO India but just saying….

    Can’t be the same AI that I stopped all Indian company employees flying due to their appalling schedule cancellations, changes; hopeless timekeeping, couldn’t give a attitude both on the ground and in the air. In contrast Jet were very good and I can’t make any sense of how they couldn’t make the economics work – every domestic flight that I took with Jet was virtually full to capacity (and I was taking ~ 20 domestic Jet flights per year for the past 6-7 years).

  OT – I’ve got an iberia redemption NRT – MAD and have separately booked an iberia domestic MAD-PMI. Is there anyway I can get my bags checked through from Tokyo or will I have to collect and recheck in Madrid?

  O/T IHG question. I was already spire but have just reached 75k points again today. Do I not get the 25k bonus for reaching spire elite this year if I already have it from last year?

  • BJ says:

    24 Apr24 April 21:02

    Should do IIRC, were they all qualifying points? For example if they came from Virgin I believe they no longer are.

    • Tracy says:

      24 Apr24 April 21:36

      Yes, all qualifying. Either hotel or credit card.

        Yes you will get it. Unsure how long that benefit will take to show up in your account, probably best to check in a few days.

      • Tracy says:

        25 Apr25 April 09:34

        Thanks will keep checking.

  • Alan says:

    25 Apr25 April 10:29

    You’re definitely eligible, can take a couple of days though to show up as an option (remember you have to pick it too, it’s not automatic as there are other less valuable options!)

  OT: Tgere was an item on Ch4 news tonight, complete with whistblower, about poor QA/QC on Now I gs 787 assembly line. Follows up articles in New York Times on Sunday (had paywall so didn’t post). The guy was fired by Boeing apparently so it comes down to who you believe.

    There’s a piece on FlyerTalk about this as well.

      It’s worrying if true but then the plane has been flying for years already, escaping major disasters despite the battery or fan blade issues.

    This was first brought to light by Al Jazeera in 2014. The documentary can be found on youtube; it’s called Broken Dreams.

  I have tried this every which way on G-flights and the Qatar site, but cannot get ARN-HKG to price below £1,800 rtn. I’m looking around Oct/Nov, but can’t see lower pricing anywhere.

  If anyone can help?!

  • Paul says:

    25 Apr25 April 05:32

    Agreed, I couldn’t find ARN-HKG on Qatar on any of the several dates I tried for anything like the price Rob posted.
    We flew ARN-TYO in March when a similar deal was on. Nice to get the BAEC points, but my son left TYO on BA 6 hours after us, flying direct and was back in London a couple of hours before us! But we got a 4-day break in Stockholm on the way out and the whole package was less than flying direct on BA, so I shouldn’t grumble!

    • John says:

      25 Apr25 April 05:43

      And how much did your son pay?

      • Paul says:

        26 Apr26 April 23:09

        He flew Premier Economy on BA, so not directly comparable.
        I recall when I booked the ARN to TYO Qatar flights that the additional cost of flying business on BA LON to ARN return with a 4 night stay in a 4* hotel in Stockholm (all booked through Expedia for £901) was pretty much the same price as flying business class on BA . In other words, the Qatar/Expedia combination got me a 4 day holiday in Stockholm for the same price as flying directly to Tokyo on BA.

  • Ricardo says:

    I think it’s now gone for ARN-HKG. I had been thinking about using this offer, and it was being flagged in the offers section of the Swedish Qatar website as a “limited time only” premium fare, but this changed about a week ago and now it’s just SIN, BKK and a few others.

  Does Uber credit expire? I’m sure I read somewhere it was 6 months?

  • Rob says:

    25 Apr25 April 10:02

    No. The code you are given expires, but once added to your Uber account it never expires.
