Forums Frequent flyer programs The British Airways Club First Class (lack of) availability

  • 9 posts

    There seems to be a distinct lack of first class BA reward availability. Yesterday, using seatspy, there wasn’t a single first class reward seat to anywhere in the world. Today is not much better. Some of the better routes (normally) for F availability have nothing, including Mexico City, Houston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle etc. Even New York is only showing a handful – think single figures – and all outbound, so no chance of a return. Is there a reason behind this? I appreciate they don’t guarantee availability First, but traditionally there has always been reasonable availability, particularly on some routes. One of the few benefits of the AMEX over the Barclaycard is the fact you can use it in First, but maybe not anymore 🤷‍♂️

    You’re not the only one asking. There are some IT shenanigans going on which might account for it, discussed in other threads over the past few days.
