Might find the legroom disappears too with squeezing more into the aircraft.

BA will add extra seats in economy cabins - BBC News

Loads of knee-room on EI Regional in Economy, even for a six-footer ;)

Worked for me. Cheapest flights to the USA I've had for a while.

From another Forum ... "...the discount is only available on BA marketed and operated flights and does not apply to travel on any BA franchisee or oneworld alliance airline, or any flight operated by a codeshare partner. The Ts and Cs also mentions that the discount is for online bookings only."

So not a great deal of use for me.

Love the picture of the BA pilot.. Jag Mates rule..

I registered and tried to book flights for Christmas but it only offered me departures from UK airports. Not much use when one lives in the land of sand.

Ian16th:-

Yes, overseas residents CAN register, but to use their words:
Hi,

Thank you for getting in touch, you can input your South African address and we can get your card shipped out to you. Please be aware that our card is only for offers in the UK, apologies for any inconvenience,

Kind Regards
I've heard that BA are addressing this anomaly and that the discount should be available soon to those who hold the card but are travelling from outside the UK. Only a whisper on the grapevine, so no chapter and verse (yet). Just keep checking is the Order of the Day I guess.

Bugger! Just seen this and "Shock Horror" realised we booked and paid for our April flights to Trumpland last week ....So, assuming Big Don will still let us in -

"Dear BA,
I am a poor impoverished veteran of some 39 years service, man and boy..."

Flying AA to the USA ex-DUB is infinitely cheaper, even with connection costs. In addition you get a better cabin, better food, cleaner aircraft and ... US pre-clearance at DUB, which is painless and saves hours of queues/lines. "The only way to the USA" ... https://matrix.itasoftware.com :)

PS| Matrix takes time to learn, but basically scrapes ALL airline websites for fares. the sub-set of google fares isn't as comprehensive..

10% discount on what ?
 
Just priced flight from gatwick to TFS for 2 adults on 21Dec with rtn on 28 Dec using the code BAHERO. The cost is £749.64. Booking same flights on BA with no Forces Discount code came in at under £690. Someone is taking the p*ss

When is a discount not a discount? .........

When it's offered by BA or VS, both suck with 'discounts'

MPN11 11th Nov 2016 18:54

VictorNavrad ... did you go in to ba.com via the DDS website? Or apply the code direct in ba.com? I believe only the former route will achieve the desired result.

tmmorris 11th Nov 2016 19:53

Presumably to stop idiots posting the code online in a public forum

:ugh:

VictorNavrad 12th Nov 2016 14:06

Used the DDS website and code to get the special discount, its a joke ! As for posting the code on a public forum the DDS website needs a valid login to access the code so I do not consider myself an idiot to mention the code on this forum. The web is awash with sites that offer discounts and the majority are scams; I hope the DDS isite s genuine but the BA offer is not a good deal

MPN11 12th Nov 2016 16:28

BA is very rarely a good deal, especially on long-haul.

Thanks for clarifying, VictorNavrad

Top Bunk Tester 12th Nov 2016 16:34

Have found the absolute best best discounts out the for BA or Virgin Atlantic, hope I won't get flamed for posting it here, have thought long and hard about it ......
