Forums Frequent flyer programs The British Airways Club RFS Pricing for Canada

  • 28 posts

    Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere – I had a quick look for couldn’t see anything.

    I’m looking at Business Class flights for Canada next year with a new style BA Amex Premium 2-4-1. Prices are coming up as 180,000 + £1,700 for 2 consistently whether Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver.

    For January I already have Vancouver in Business that I paid 125,000 + £1,820 for 2 seats using old style 2-4-1.

    Tweaking the dates to go off-peak only reduces the price to 160,000 + £1,700 so almost not worth bothering with.

    With other flights being listed as Higher Miles + £250 / £350 per person, Canada seems to be disproportionately expensive – to the extent that flying to New York and getting an internal flight to Toronto seems like a cheaper option.

    Are these high £££ prices showing up elsewhere (I saw a comment about Barbados I think)?

    There are a whole series of articles on the sites front page about the changes to RFS pricing changes

    I am aware of all the articles but couldn’t see this point being covered.

    One point that I have noted is that the pricing doesn’t mention RFS, whereas if I choose Premium Economy when not using a voucher (as Business not available without the additional availability opening up) it does mention RFS pricing.

    Thanks

    May be a silly question, but are you sure it’s a new-style voucher and you definitely selected this voucher before searching? Could explain why it’s not offering RFS pricing.

    Not a silly question – I have 2 vouchers and checked with both. Also no bus class without the voucher, so this confirms that it is a new style voucher. Thanks

    It appears to be a glitch where new RFS pricing is not getting applied. I logged out / tried a different browser and it works again.

    New RFS pricing still applies to old style vouchers.

    Yes! Pricing on MacBook 180,000 + £700 rather than +£1,690 on Dell.

    Bizarre, and somewhat unacceptable!!

    …and Dell now giving the RFS prices so I wonder if some sort of browser update has applied in the last few hours (perhaps here, perhaps at BA – who knows, but the price has changed by £990).

    Off-peak still 160,000 rather than Peak 180,000. Nice if the dates work but not enough to influence choice of dates too much.

    Thanks for the input.
