Forums Frequent flyer programs The British Airways Club FQTV and FQTS on a BA booking

  • 8 posts

    I recently had a trip on Cathay Pacific. I entered my BA number (currently Gold) on the Cathay booking which gave me the emerald status benefits of extra luggage etc and upon check-in issued me Cathay first lounge vouchers. Once in the lounge, I then asked the staff to change the FF number to Finnair Plus, they printed new boarding passes showing the updated FF. If you can’t do it at the lounge, then you can do it at the gate – staff can do this and issue updated boarding passes, for your records.

    Points posted to Finnair within a week.

    Unsurprisingly, lounge staff said that they had seen many others doing the same thing!

    Never occurred to me you could do this at the gate. Do you think this would work at an outstation? The vast majority of non-London lounges used by BA are not BA branded.

    Staff at outstations are almost all contract staff so may not have been trained to do this or have any idea about what you are asking if they don’t handle many BA flights – which to be honest at most outstations is going to be the situation.

    If you do ask at the gate then do it before boarding has actually started as their primary job is to get the flight away on time.
