I really like the new BA seats having done this route earlier this year - a huge improvement on the awful 2-4-2 configurations. As you say, the BA FAs are superb. As I recall the food and IFE were solid too. It's great that BA are starting to turn things around.

I go5 a really good upgrade price to first class a few months ago, god knows how… just asked at the gate, I think BA really improved the cabin crew service over the last few months.

Brilliant! My runs toward oneworld Ruby or Sapphire are sector-based. I just requalified for Ruby, so starting my journey back up to Sapphire again. Cheers! - Red

My pleasure. Absolutely loved this trip. Need to do more, even if I already have the status!

Oh ok

Curious to know why you did a TP run to Las Vegas? There are much better ways to do tier point runs or did you have another reason?

Ex-EU to West Coast of the states is a regular run as far as I know. I wasn’t really fussed about the destination but I do like Vegas. This particular route was the best £/TP I could find at the time. What are the much better ways do you think?

@@gazzis Again it’s subjective as if the destination is not one you’d like to go to then that takes half of the value away. The Sri Lankan run from AUH-CMB-MNL and back can be had for sub £800 which nets 560 tier points. AGP-HEL-LHR-JFK-LAX-SFO nets around 1080 TP return and can be had for around £1300-1500. I don’t know how much you paid, I’m not trying to say that you should do it another way, I’ve just never personally found that route at a price that I consider reasonable
