So probably more expensive than a non flexible Club Europe ticket?
Bealine will probably reply that there is no discretion locally, but it seems a bit barmy that they didn't go with the flow and keep you in Club.
Still, nice to hear that the sales prevention department has, apparently, survived the future shape and size programme.
BTW, how many tier points did you get for your 28 flights? Do you have a gold or silver card? BA focus seems to be on g/s levels, i.e. little service without.
I avoid flying BA, because I'll never get more than a blue card due to the tier points system and my short haul pattern of travel. Skyteam have a far better FQTV scheme than Oneworld and I retained silver by the start of July and am on track for gold by the end of November.
