Forums Payment cards American Express Exclusive Avios seats

  • 4 posts

    I’ve searched without success, where are the Avios seats found that are exclusive to the BA Amex card? Looking at availability from the Avios website the pickings are slim but there was mention in one article about seats that can only be found via Amex, where should I be looking?

    They are no seats exclusive to the Amex card itself. There _may_ be additional seat availability with the 241 voucher you earn via the BAPP card only (not the free version). Where available you see those when you search using a voucher in your BA account.

    As above, you need to search with your companion voucher from the BAPP Amex (the one with the annual fee). If there are “extra” CW seats, this will be highlighted in the search results.

    Do you currently have the companion voucher (241)?

    Not yet. Only signed up last month for the paid version but reckon I’ll qualify within next month or so, already got the 30k bonus.
    Don’t realise the “extra” seats were relative to the 2-4-1

    Thank you. Very useful. I’ll wait until I qualify for the 241 then check.

    This is a really good guide to using the 241:

    I’m just waiting for @JDB to arrive and declare there’s nothing exclusive about flying BA in CW!

    @aston100
    , im looking to change a 241 but obviously its currently used. Would you be so kind to check if anything is showing 01/08 from KUL to MAN please? I know I’ll have to call anyway but would be much appreciated.

    Can’t see anything between KUL and MAN or LON on 31/07 to 02/08, with or without the voucher.
    There’s the usual combo of MAS plus BA connecting in various Indian airports that never prices up properly, but nothing non stop with BA.

    I assume you have a spare companion voucher? Wondering if youd be so kind as to check whether anything is showing KUL-MAN on 01/08? I can call but if you have a spare min… Cheers!
