British Airways-2
Is the new arms-length Gatwick short haul operation, BA EuroFlyer, going to be flying as BA/BAW "Speedbird" or will they have their own callsign? It's a separate AOC but not heard anything else.

booing with vouchers
As mentioned I have numerous "future travel voucher" ( as descried on the emails from BA.
However when I try to book using these voucher numbers , showing my correct emails and log in details, the BA web site says it does not recognise the details.
I dont know if an e-voucher is the same as a 'future travel voucher' but whatever it is called.. BA system wont accept the details they gave me
and as stated, phone calls are a , well, impossible to get an answer.
unless anybody had a contact phone number that might be answered??

The Future Travel Voucher (FTV) is different to the e-voucher. The latter let's you use the '125-' ticket number as a voucher code and it deducts the value at the time of booking. The FTV (which was the original mechanism for vouchers that where more trouble than they're worth) can only be used by calling unfortunately. Its basically your old booking that's made dormant, they then take that booking and make all the necessary changes to it to create your new booking - waiving all the fees in the process. Your new booking then exists in the system with your original PNR. If using multiple FTVs they adjust the balance accordingly. No easy way of using it I'm afraid.
Appreciate you taking the time.
But, what it means is I can only book on the phone, they dont answer the phone so I have spend thousands of £££'s and hundreds of thousands of Avios.
But I cannot book a flight using them!
Unbelievable.
BA you should be ashamed!
They just dont care.!
BA vouchers
tks
and YUP
thats what I get
and hen I enter any of my (six ) future travel vouchers ( and I have tired them all, all together, individually, all poss permutations
and I do know how to enter my email address, and my name and double check the voucher number((s) prefixed 125..
Here is the response I get:""Check your email and try again
Last nameCheck your details and try again
eVoucher codeCheck your eVoucher code and try again"
Still going around and around in circles
When I used the above voucher, I found the flight I wanted and when it came to payment I entered the voucher number and the booking was made. The voucher was valued at more than the cost of the booking so I was emailed another eVoucher with the balance.

Not sure what the criteria is for refunding but it has been covered by Head for Points blog.
I blow hot and cold with BA. Two recent flights (INN&VRN) both Business, paid for by Avios. The face to face service throughout was excellent from the greeting at T5 all the way through the flights. BUT the IT is appalling at almost every stage whether it's dealing with relocated flights (LGW to LHR), adding COVID docs, checking in etc etc etc.

Another weekend, another BA meltdown. 25 flights arriving last night told they would not receive their bags - most only after being made to wait up to several hours at T5.
There are also lots of reports of planes waiting for up to and some even over a hour to park at T5 because nobody is available to turn the stand guidance system on.
This morning plenty of short haul flights cancelled - AMS, BSL, GVA, ZRH, MUC, TIA, EDI, NCE, CDG, LIS.

BA app very slowwwwww today...just booked a flight with them which took around 30 mins!
When going through the process, despite being signed into the app, I had to manually enter all my personal details, including credit card info, despite this normally being held in the app, so this added to the long process!
And no bookings are shown in the My Booking section of the app...I assume due to another technical issue!

Paxing All Over The World
- South Africa changes their PCR entry rules on Wed 22nd.
- By that afternoon, the BA website has acknowedlged it and shows new requirements.
- On Thursaday, the website still confirms that.
- Thursday evening, try to check-in? They haven't changed the bit that asks for VeriFLY data.
- Such Fun.
