Call Amex Travel with all the details.

Maybe I just hit on a privately managed ATM then. I have used it in France many times before with no fees. Thanks all.

[The Original Nick]

Try flying out of Madrid and use ITA Matrix or Google flights.

[The Original Nick]

Thanks.

[The Original Nick]

Thanks. The coversation came years ago between you and I rob so now it helps. Thanks all.

[The Original Nick]

Mine has now upgraded and showing on my App.

[The Original Nick]

Thanks to you both.

[The Original Nick]

Thanks Rob. That’s a shame as they aren’t flying to the sandpit on this booking until 20th April with me. I will tell my Mum to keep an eye on her emails just to make sure it doesn’t roll over past the 31/3.

As all of the lounges have re-opened in T5 I don’t think my parents will be eligible to use the First Wing and GF.

[The Original Nick]

I completely forgot about this offer. I’ve just booked a BA holidays trip for my parents and the totl cost was over £2500pp. I can’t find any mention on BA website of being able to use the First Wing now.

[The Original Nick]

Excellent. Thanks Rob.

[The Original Nick]

That depends if you’re planning on doing any flying before your September trip.

[The Original Nick]

I was looking at reward flights lastnight LHR – DXB , DXB – LHR and I did check STN to and I found flights available right out until September in both Business and First. The taxes were only around 400 AED which surprised me.

[The Original Nick]

What email address did you use?

[The Original Nick]

Interesting as I’ve noticed that this morning as I’m looking to book the same for my parents. If they were to pay a deposit now for the holiday can they then use a Evoucher to pay for the remainder of the booking via phone?

[The Original Nick]

My App isn’t and won’t upgrade to reflect my new status that has been confirmed by email. I’ve uninstalled the App and reinstalled but still no change..

[The Original Nick]

Thanks ChrisC.

[The Original Nick]

Sounds good. We did MAD – HAV February 2020 (just before lockdown) in Business which was very good.

[The Original Nick]

Yes I booked MAD JFK in PE and JFK – MAD Business for less than what BA were asking for LHR – JFK, JFK – LHR both in PE. I don’t mind flying down to Madrid for a night in July that’s for sure. More tier points too. I got exit seats in PE for free too. What flights are you finding?

[The Original Nick]

Excellent, Thanks for confirming that for me. I’ll let him know now. My Mum will be happy about it too as they both travel together normally.

[The Original Nick]

All BA flights to DXB from LHR are direct. BA are using the A380 again for the route too. Like Rhys has said, there’s no guarantee as the aircraft can be swapped right at the last minute. Take a look at seatguru to. Best to always do a dummy booking to see the seat map though. Good luck.

[The Original Nick]

I’d be interested in this as I’ve got a flight booked with Iberia MAD – JFK in Premium Economy. I can’t find a way of UUA. Please can you tell me how to find the fare bucket? I’ve looked on the eticket but that just gives me the ticket number 125-XXXXXXXX. I’m sure I saw the fare bucket before but maybe that was when I waas booking. Thanks

[The Original Nick]

Not sure but I just remember reading somewhere that January would be the month that accounts would get upgraded. Guess we’ll just have to be patient

[The Original Nick]

It won’t be Virgin but try flying from MAD instead.

[The Original Nick]

Thanks
