    Please note we are carrying out planned maintenance from 01:00 GMT on Wednesday 18 January so you may not be able to log into your account during this time. We will complete this activity as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.

    Last time we had this message it was the Grand Farce of 2022 that introduced Club World RFS and associated devaluations.

    Might be worth ticketing any bookings you’re thinking about, my bet is on the introduction of revenue-based Avios earning tomorrow.

    The last major wholesale devaluation was also in the month of January, back in 2015.

    I would never rule anything out from BA but this would be a bit weird so soon after the recent changes, no?

    Given the access issues getting into the app and flights not showing in MMB it probably is just maintenance.

    I hope so.

    Then again we are due the introduction of revenue-based Avios earning (as announced when Iberia moved over), plus some other ominous words from a BA staff member in the comments at the time.

    I always take a copy of my points balance before any maintenance is done, just incase my points go astray.

    The Avios earning calculator remains the same, it looks like we survived this latest round of ‘enhancements’!

    No! Betteridge’s law.

    What a load of knicker-wetting unsubstantiated fretting.

    By pure dumb luck I miraculously ticketed 2x GUF2 bookings at 11pm the day before BA trashed GUF2s in the last enhancements when the maintenance notice popped up.

    When you have a 24hr cooling off period, a warning of a known and impending change potentially landing can only be a good thing!
