Ok, help me out here! We have 2-4-1 business class seats for our return from Joburg in September. There is one first available on the same day/flight, but two firsts are available the following day (and I would absolutely consider staying an extra day to swap). First weirdly seems to cost fewer Avios (85,000) than business (90,000)… am I reading that right?
Could I cancel our business flights, book the firsts, wait for our 2-4-1 voucher to reappear and then get it applied retrospectively? I’m tempted!
While it is essentially a cancel and rebook, don’t cancel and wait for the voucher. Call BA and they should do it all on the same call, so no risk of losing out on the First seats and potentially the business seats, if they don’t reappear.
