Hi everyone,
A close friend, BA staff,has offered to check friends and family rates via their hotline for flights. Does anyone know if these are a particular bucket or have further info? I don’t want to inconvenience him if I can check stock etc myself.
I have 2 small kids so any saving during school holidays would be great.
Any advice or guidance welcome.
Thanks
Rhys may well know, he has access to them via a friend. Will nudge him on Tuesday.
Hotline tickets book into the lowest fare category in each class. In short, they are not upgradable with avios. They still warn avios/TPS however. I believe you can still upgrade using cash.
In my experience, the discount will vary wildly.
I am conscious about putting too much info online, but feel free to ask Rob to pass my email on if you need anything further.
I also have access, and can confirm ATP’s wise words!
Almost unforeseeable discounts as to where and when!
No Avios upgrade.
No HBO: even lowest fares include suitcase.
Sometimes DO have ok one-way fares (either inbound or outbound)Long and short is, your friend will have to kindly check for you!
Yes Michael C makes an excellent point! No HBO fares means often the fare quoted on ba.com for HBO will include checked luggage via Hotline. One of the best benefits I think.
It’s very variable. Best discounts are often domestics, particularly one-way where commercial price is ridiculous.
Recently booked two 5 night euro breaks in J to get the double tier points, both times the hotline flight + hotel was significantly more expensive than the BA holiday price.
