Discuss today's stories:

Hard to find route, I’m just about to cancel 2 as we are going a week later instead [Via KUL as nothing to BKK]
Details below, we did use a companion voucher though so these may not pop up in the ‘normal’ avios pool.
Our booking was from Manchester so it also included an earlier connection flight but into LHRDepart at 22:00, Thu 24 Apr 2025

BangkokThis is just a heads up if anyone would like them
Very much doubt these will be available as rewards after you cancel with only a couple of months left until the flight. Let us know if they are though, would be interesting.
AFAIK they don’t go back into the pot for resale. Certainly haven’t on ones we’ve had to cancel/change in the past.
They do if you cancel far enough out, I’ve done it several times. I hadn’t registered that @squishsquash was travelling so soon though, I doubt those will reappear, but it’s always thoughtful to give a heads up!
I believe if they’re from the original 4 then they’ll reappear if you cancel more than 45 days before travel. But if you’re booked into I class not U class (I am not familiar how these additional seats fare class works at booking) then these may be from additional availability so likely would not

Well something strange did happen …

J9 C5 D4 R0 I2 W9 E9 T9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 G9The I class seats for sale on the US Point of sale went to I2. The UK stayed at I8.
They were originally from MAN so I don’t know if a search with a 241 would have a chance of finding them? I don’t have an unused one atm.
And here they are:
I had been searching every day for about 10 days when I snagged these 2 early Feb, and they were definitely the ‘extra availability ones’.
So I presumed we got them as someone else had recently cancelled too.
There was also a couple of Saturdays around the same time which went v.quickly too.So this is a good test that they do in fact go back in the pool as such. Well this type anyway.
Sure someone will snag soon as its so much easier than having to go from KUL or SIN like we now have to ;(
What I find strange is that the London – Singapore route on BA has some dates with 8 business seats available [For around our dates of 30th April]
So does that route have 8 released originally or is it just because its a quite flight/season so they have added extras?When we wanted 6 last year [For this year] we never saw more than 4.
Just interested really.I booked to Kuala Lumpur last night then Ive just had to blinking cancel them as the connection on to Batik Air in economy was too close, so going to go via Singapore instead. We don’t have check in luggage on the outbound so economy will be fine for a 2.5 hr flight to be honest
We don’t have check in luggage on the outbound
Wow, and all this time I thought BJ was the only person that travelled with a spare underpant.

Its a buying trip so those precious KG are very valuable for the return.
We will take about 5kg each at a guess, little denim shorts and t’s don’t take up much room thankfully 😉Unfortunately Qatar is only 40kg per person vs BA very generous 64kg but looking forward to trying Qatar Airways business product having done economy with them many times and always been impressed.
