Good Morning from Saudi,
quite a specific query here wonder if anyone can help, will soon be switching to flying emirates for work (in J), I was thinking if it is worthwile to credit the miles to malaysia enrich ff program, to be able to use on OW redemption in future?
If I credit to emirates I will end up gold but this is no bearing as will be flying business anyway, however when crediting to malaysia I think you only accrue the airmiles, not the elite points required for gaining status. Hope this makes sense, thanksFirst flight under the new club regime. Checked in using BA Gold number and entered lounge. Went directly to customer service desk and changed my FF number to AY+ new boarding pass shows AY number. In CE so group one held but I’ll try to board using BA gold boarding pass and report back. All very painless and no need to use other carriers websites

What’s the difference between boarding as Group 1 under CE eligibility versus BAC Gold?
It’s not all painless; I had two confused agents ar the customer service desk a few weeks ago who inputted my Iberia number, printed off a BP showing Iberia, then the points credited to BAC.
There is of course no difference. As for the ease of changing, was simply pointing out that it was straightforward. What happens from here in is another matter!
Is anyone aware of a service that will print and post out a decent quality map from something like a series of inputs on GreatCircleMap.com?
Thought it would be easy to find, but obviously not!
Good morning, happy bank holiday everyone.
I need to get to the HI Bath Road later today. I’ll be getting the Elizabeth Line into Ts2&3. Possibly a very stupid question, but is the route to Heathrow Central Bus Station step-free and relatively straightforward?

Yes step free and well signposted but it is quite long from what I remember from past trips.
It is all underground. There isn’t a surface level route.
Totally agree with @BWS. It’s not all painless. I thought I’d try things out. In March, didn’t need tier points to requalify for status with BA, so asked at LGW lounge for FF number to be changed to Iberia. Got new boarding pass with IB number but points and Avios credited to BA. Last month at T5B lounge, we hadn’t used any FF number as we were flying business. I showed my BA status using digital card on app and was asked for boarding pass which had no FF number on it. Was told I had to input booking (PNR) into system to get a digital boarding pass with FF number and show before being allowed to enter lounge. Tried to change FF programme in lounge via Air Maroc but unable to change so points posted to BAC.

Brilliant, thanks.
Have done a few flights post April 1st and getting very inconsistent tier point postings
The Good : had booked a ba holiday 5nights at Easter (april) but before 31st Dec. Had thought I would just get normal tier points under the old regime conversion rate but was happy to also see a load of tier points posted for the total cost. Was a solo trip so no idea if points would have been split.
The bad: flight taken on 1st April as part of a return trip and booked post 30th Dec has gained zero points so far. It was CW SIN to LHR so not insignificant.
Also just received economy tier points for a CE booking!
Will pick up with the exec club but still seems to be some teething problems to me.
Anyone else seeing similar issues?
If anyone is looking at a hotels .com booking, TCB are doing 14% +£10 opt in bonus today.

I would strongly recommend you explore your redemption options and costs via Enrich before committing to it. I don’t want to say there isn’t value to be had (there might be for your particular needs and expectations) but in general, the programme has become a bit of a joke, with Enrich points essentially being a fixed-value cash substitute with minimal opportunity for outsize value etc, not helped by multiple no-notice / not-communicated-at-all devaluations. Also read the terms and conditions very carefully – last time I looked, Enrich partner redemptions were extremely inflexible. As a general rule, the exact same flights are cheaper and better booked with Avios (assuming there’s availability of course). Many of us who have been long-standing Enrich members are coming to the conclusion that it only really has value for OW status – debatable whether the points are worth chasing. But as I say, you may find value for your needs.
