BA Executive Club
10/07/11 | Forum post in reply to acireale

Anytime lounge access was pretty much the only Gold benefit I ever used - about 4 times per year , so not likely to bankrupt BA. Other than that the award availabitly is next to non-existent - Gold EC for 15 years and never any Club availabilty...

Priority Baggage on BA?
13/06/11 | Forum post in reply to Brusselsregular

Where do you think BA SHOULD start flying to?
30/05/11 | Forum post in reply to sparkyflyer
