Freee!! Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 This will bite BA in the future, reputation wasn't all that good already and with this on top a lot of customers will prefer another airline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as the UK is a bit out of the way when flying to Bangkok and BA being more expensive than other options, I already wasn't a BA customer.

Britboy Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 I'm not planning to go back to Thailand soon, but every time I've flown to BKK it's been on BA (must be 60 times over about 16 years) so have built up a huge Avios. Of course there's loads of other ways to get there, but I loathe changing planes, just want to settle down and hibernate for 12 hours. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also prefer direct flights , I managed to book my Business ticket in the sale for £1807 , then used a chunk of Avios to reduce the price by £750 ... no chance will I be able to find anything similar... EVA has been my preferred airline over the last 15 years , but have used BA , Etihad, Emirates and Qatar when the price was right .. just had another email from BA today , I have just received another companion voucher , now have two sitting on my account ..
