@Familyflyer10 there isn’t as far as anyone knows. It’s unfortunate that on this route it hasn’t worked in your favour.

Running the maths on it quickly, you now need 30k more Avios PP but will save ~£395 PP (£1185 total saved)

If its this route or nothing,your only recourse is to buy 90k Avios for £1455. This will work out at about 90 quid pp more expensive than before the changes. Up to you to decide if its worth it!

It is a very frustrating change, and of course while I have no idea myself, I feel like BA has shafted Barlcays too. I have 2 Barclays vouchers now, but as far as I’m concerned they have both just become significantly less attractive. I’m one of those people who is a bit more “cash rich, Avios poor”, so this is incredibly annoying for me. I can budget money to put towards reward flights, but if I suddenly need significantly more Avios I’m screwed!
