Forums Frequent flyer programs British Airways Club Question about silver status.

  • 249 posts

    I’ve been bronze for some time but just lost it and am back to blue. Thanks to a BA holiday double tier points trip I will be silver shortly.

    Does silver drop only to bronze at the end of the year or back to blue ?

    When I reach silver can I go into my many economy short haul bookings and book seats without charge even though they were booked before I was silver ?

    Thanks in advance

    Yes, you can book all the seats on your upcoming flights – this is a lot of fun!

    You will get Silver for the rest of your current membership year and ALL the following year. At the end of that year, you will drop to Bronze for a further 12 months.

    Gosh yes, I wouldn’t normally pay for the seats but it’s a lot of value getting them free. It’s for all the people on my booking too I think.
    I just discovered the increased baggage allowance, 71lbs per bag! I wouldn’t even be able to drag it!

    Yes, for everyone on your booking, and EVEN if you weren’t the person who booked the trip.

    I know – we take loads of luggage when we do our 3-week Caribbean trip each year but still not come anywhere near the enhanced allowances!
