I would like to say thank you to BASSA, as due to the IA BA have have just renewed Mrs. J's gold memember even though it looked like she would drop down to silver.
My experience has been similar, during the IA having travelled LH on 4 occasions now during strike days BA have never failed to get me to my destination. The only inconvenience was when my scheduled SFO flight was cancelled but was put on the earlier flight with a free upgrade to first - very nice thankyou BASSA
