Forums Frequent flyer programs The British Airways Club Seat alerts/redemption cancellation thread

  • 624 posts

    I was wondering if it would be welcomed among other members of the forum if there was a dedicated thread where people posted when they spot seats opening up to sought after destinations, or before/after they have cancelled a redemption?


    @NorthernLass
    very kindly posts when she sees availability to places like SIN, etc on SeatSpy, and another was about to cancel 4xF seats to SIN, and offered to post when they were about to do so.

    I appreciate that some people that pay for SeatSpy might not like other people posting things like this. So if people object to it, then I guess it’s fair enough to not post it.

    But, to kick things off, I have just cancelled 3x J to DXB for 31st July to 5th August, and they have all immediately re-appeared in inventory.

    This is a great idea, even people who subscribe to SeatSpy often don’t have that much time to look at it so I can’t see a problem. Plus there have been many complaints recently about it being wrong, lol!

    Good idea… I’ll start off a template 😂

    In the next day or so, I’m probably going to be dropping:

    Departure: LHR
    Destination: KUL
    # of tickets: 2
    Class: Business
    Outbound Date: 29/1/24
    Return Date: 11/2/24

    I will just fire up my Delorean in readiness…

    bah, you know what – the “year” was a last minute addition (because obviously given those dates, it could only be for next year) – serves me right for trying to make the process idiot proof 🥴 😂

    I’ll be dropping a bunch of flights suitable for the Euro’s in Germany (mostly Dusseldorf and Cologne region) over the weekend… if anyone is interested in the details, just yell.

    (possibly dropping some flights that would be suitable for the final too)
