@philuk and @captainptk many thanks for for help. I successfully booked Club return flights from JNB online @ midnight last night and already have my Avios refund. Thanks again

@philuk Thank you. presumably if we use the telephone route we have to ring through just prior to midnight here, explain we wish to book next day allocation and ask them to “grab” seats as soon as they become available. Is that the process? I believe I’ve seen the number back in this thread but if you could confirm which number you use it would be very helpful. I assume you Skype?
Many thanks.

Thank you for your replies. Phil uk – I shall try your useful suggestion. Captainptk – any recommendations for which numbers to use please? I’ve seen US and Japan mentioned.

For the first time I’m having issues booking a Cape Town return flight. I have taken all the device I can find in this thread to make a midnight booking as speedy as possible. Last night I hit the book flights button just a second after midnight but got a message saying unable to book flights for 28th Feb next year. Eventually had to retype flight request and it accepted the 28th date by which time I had lost any time advantage. Has anyone else had this issue?

My wife and I both have BA premium cards and usually achieve two 241 companion tickets each card year. With the increase spend level of 15k per membership year I now wish to increase our chances by shifting my wife’s membership year start date to 6 months after my cards start date. Will I need to cancel and reapply in order to change year start date or is there another option? Thanks in advance.
