Hi all
I have a 241 voucher that will expire late July … and I was hoping to use on business class flight to Bangkok. Been waiting to jump on and book but as yet still no BA flights are coming up for next summer to Thailand. And … as a result of waiting, my options to fly elsewhere are now limited as all air miles seats are snapped up.
Wondering if there is an easy way to extend the 241 … or do you think BA might extend again due to Omicron cousing more havoc with travel?
You can book something with the 241 voucher, and then ‘cancel’ it and get a Future Travel Voucher (FTV). This is effectively just a credit note from BA that holds all of your contributions (avios and taxes) but crucially also the 241 voucher, until you are ready to re-book, and which remains useable for travel until 30 Sep 23. They hang on to your cash in the meantime so make it somewhere cheap! The risk is that if you cant use the FTV, and cancel it fully, it will cost you £35pp cancellation fee.
Some restrictions, including – the initial booking needs to be for travel prior to 31 Aug 22 (which is the current end date of the ‘Book with Confidence’ policy) and the 241 ‘companion’ has to remain the same throughout. Plenty of other info on this is several threads on here already.
many thanks tiriavpo
