  There isn’t such flying club blue platinum it’s Flying blue Platinum.

    Thanks! It was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime experience 🙂

      Glad you enjoyed it. The ‘rooms’ were actually a lot more impressive than I expected – the way Hilton described it, it sounded like a row of beds side by side like a hospital ward!

  OT as Bits – my gf and I applied for Global Entry on Friday and were conditionally approved today. Whole process took about four days, including getting the code from the UK Gov.

    It felt like me and the OH had global entry last week flying back from the US, From touch down at LGW South to driving out of the car park after a shuttle bus transfer took exactly an hour, First to disembark the plane, Immigration was clear, Our four pieces of priority Luggage actually came out in pole position as soon as the conveyer started up. Transfer arrived 5 mins after we made it to the pick up point, I doubt we will ever experience that miracle again in my lifetime….

    Lucky you! Mine took about 5 months, but thankfully did get approved in the end. The interview on arrival was very easy, but involved quite a wait as I entered at a small airport with no dedicated desk (the regular agents did it after they’d cleared the whole of my flight). So if you get chance, I’d recommend choosing a large airport with dedicated interview facility.

        The comments police must be off for the bank holiday weekend! No “post it on the forum” replies 👮‍♂️

          I’m not the only one that was thinking that? Let’s save our OT comments for the coronation weekend, 👮‍♀️ would not dare raise their heads on that bank holiday weekend….

  OT: I booked a flight with BA from London to USA and since Premium Economy was only available on outbound, I used my Barclays Avios Upgrade Voucher for just that leg.

  What can I use the second part of my voucher on? It would need to be another flight. Can I use it on an inbound flight from say, Dubai to London? I somehow can’t see my remaining voucher when I use the Book and Upgrade option online.
  Please advise.

  • Erico1875 says:

    No. It would need to be the RTN journey from USA

    • S879 says:

      30 Apr30 April 16:54

      Oh, on the same leg or can it be in future? Also, can it be going to to New York but return from DC?

  • S says:

    I don’t think you have any ‘remaining voucher’

    • AL says:

      +1. Clause 8 of https://www.britishairways.com/en-us/executive-club/collecting-avios/personalbanking/cabin-upgrade-terms refers. You can use it for two people one way, or one person on a one way or return itinerary.

      Given there was no availability on one sector, I suspect they’ll have used the whole voucher to cover the sector that it was used on.

  If you cancel within the first twelve months, will they attempt to claw back the MR points ??

  OT: I recently became a Virgin Gold member (through Amex Centurion). I called the Virgin Gold Flying Club line to pool 2 accounts for a household account. However, they told me that this has currently been suspended. Has there been any communication on why this is the case?

  • Rob says:

    No, but it has been like this for at least 6 months.
