Hi All, BA appear to have updated their app so you can no longer search for reward flights by country or continent (only be specific airport/ city). It looks as though they have also removed many reward seats with the update too. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.
Yes, all first class seems to have been removed on LON-JNB. Strange – I was hoping it was just an app glitch but nothing on BA website either. I do think the Avios/Reward system has had a revamp as my Barclays Premier Account have confirmed there will be a delay in sending my monthly avios this month.
No First for Mexico City which definitely had availability before the update.
Someone’s posted under one of the articles that on the website award flights are now only bookable 45 days out, though I haven’t actually looked.

I don’t believe so as economy, premium and business reward seats available 355 days and under.
There is an IT issue for all flights up to 16 August where none of these can be booked in any class. Not sure post 16 August. Was told the tech team were working on this yesterday and to expect a fix by 7am but it still hasn’t. Called again now and they don’t have any timeframe, was supposed to be flying tomorrow
All kinds of glitches going on. Yesterday could see availability LHR-SYD with 241 in Feb/March but couldn’t select it. Today can see it and select it if booking one way, but it doesn’t show if your query includes a return flight. Give me strength.
And 5 minutes later… “Sorry, there seems to be a technical problem”. All search functionality gone.
I wonder if they’re actually patching / breaking things while the site is live ? Got a glitch where stopover dates weren’t recognised, now that’s fixed again, and have actually managed to book 2xJ LHR-SIN-SYD in Feb with a 3 week stopover.
Final glitch: an hour ago, taxes and fees was quoted as £975.64. Now it’s a round £1,000. For the exact same flights…
There’s definitely strange things going on, SeatSpy isn’t allowing you to search for First availability on routes like New York and Boston, and there doesn’t seem to be any on BA.com either. In contrast lots of J availability opened up to EZE yesterday at the end of the year, which is quite unusual, and I was able to change my reward booking to a date that suited me better, although it took a long time on the phone to process. BA’s website is very hit and miss in being able to search for things though, and more often than not I’m getting an error message.
This is really not great, I was planning to book some flights with avios for the 15th of july and now have to make completly new plans as there are no rewards flight available until mid-August.
