I am BA silver but for some reason this has not equated to one world sapphire on my AA boarding card- I’ve been silver since July and from before I booked my internal AA flight. Despite their best efforts at check in the ground staff wouldn’t overrule the baggage allowance it was saying I was one world RUBY but I did however get access to the lounge without any question. It’s early Saturday morning at JFK the lounge was pretty empty.
I had spent 3 hours on the phone back and forth to BA and AA and the BA agent just hung up when he said it was now resolved – clearly it hasn’t.

Interesting what you said as I am there today for 13:10 to Rhodes – absolutely rammed the south lounge and we just luckily found a seat after doing a couple of laps! What we did notice that once the gate was announced – it was “boarding” almost straight away – we were finishing up food and drinks so didn’t arrive to the gate until at least 10/15 mins later and the hadn’t commenced boarding yet .. so this is clearly a strategy to empty the lounge quickly. Much to our annoyance

[anirishgirl2022]

Thanks for the advice I’ve booked now

[anirishgirl2022]

Brilliant thanks both!

Ok this is really helpful. My husband and I do favour trips to Africa. Will definitely need to educate myself on the programme.

Perhaps a weekend to visit family in Boston could be on the cards 😉

[anirishgirl2022]

Whoops I mean four flights in four months :/

[anirishgirl2022]

Ah my misunderstanding I thought I could get tier points on that code share.

Not sure I’ll get four flights in two months but I’ll get two for sure!
Other options on this route include Jet Blue which I’ve read has no lounge and Delta any advice on which I should favour over these and United as I’m starting fresh?

[anirishgirl2022]

Thank you!! This is a great list of suggestions

[anirishgirl2022]

Thanks @aja – hadnt realised it was working days – I’ll hang tight for now. Nope, no changes all as was the original booking – flight and car hire 👌🏻 thanks for the advice

[anirishgirl2022]

We’re 14 days back from our BA holiday yesterday with original tier points credited after the flights but no double yet- is it worth chasing up? Or at what point do you chase? My calendar end is 8th nov I know they’re credited back to original date but still I’d just like to be sure they have.

[anirishgirl2022]

So if you’re in club on return from AMS what lounge can you use currently?

[anirishgirl2022]

Have you received your double tier points now?

I recently completed a BA Holidays Booking returned Mon/Tue, and whilst the normal Tier Points from the flights have credited I am still awaiting on the Bonus Tier Points. My collection year ends on 8th October and need these to credit to my 22/23 Tier Point collection year as this will advance me to BA Gold and do NOT want these credited to 23/24 collection year. They say these credit within 14 days of return but does it credit per the date of return flight or date of credit? I really need it to be the former
Is it possible to somehow make sure the Tier Points are awarded based on date of travel which would fall inside my 22/23 collection year?[/quote]

[anirishgirl2022]

Thanks all!

[anirishgirl2022]

That’s fantastic- thank you both!! 🙂

So if you pay E.g 150,000 plus £500 (taxes) using 241 voucher they charge 15,000 avois for baby plus £50?

[anirishgirl2022]

On my holiday booking to Crete (flight plus car hire) for 7 days – in the manage my booking section it says 40 tier points for the trip – tier point calculator LGW to HER is 40 points -am I right in assuming the manage my booking doesn’t include the double tier points as these are awarded afterwards or does the booking show the double? In peoples experience? Thanks

[anirishgirl2022]

Ah I see now from previous points this is a known issue and that there is a glitch with the data information transfer from BA!! How annoying!

[anirishgirl2022]

Great thank you!! I’ve signed up. How accurate is it? I’ve seen a flight on their return business 26th aug London to Antigua return 2nd sept and when I go to book it’s not there. I’ve also done the same with dates in late October to Cancun again not available when I go to book?

[anirishgirl2022]

Brilliant thanks so much!!

[anirishgirl2022]

Thanks all so if you have unreserved seating do you just turn up early and hope for a seat?

[anirishgirl2022]

Well I’m in LHR T5 now and they’ve run out of champagne!! It’s not even particularly busy nor a peak travel date….!!!
The staff member told me this is 3rd or 4th time this week- run out by 2pm 🤔

[anirishgirl2022]

Nope I’ve definitely shopped at retailers and I’ve received no email and no credit

[anirishgirl2022]

Weird after I posted this I got points added- don’t seem to have got points for LHR purchases tho!
Was in Heathrow on Monday and Edinburgh yesterday so will be interesting to see if they credit to my account.
I always use Apple Pay in pret too.

[anirishgirl2022]

They’re giving me 900 points if I spent £3k wth!! Talk about delusional!

[anirishgirl2022]

Thank you both!! I might just pay cash- is there still a way to avoid it appearing on his profile if I go the cash route?

I recently stayed at the Hilton doubletree near Bristol – hot buffet breakfast and limited continental options – it all looked rather sad to be honest pretty disappointing really.

Hilton Rotterdam extensive continental Buffet and hot buffet very nice!
