  • 6 posts

    Ok I’m still trying to work out how this works
    25 flights to earn bronze
    59 flights to earn silver
    Can someone please explain how this works ?
    A return flight Edinburgh to Heathrow will give me 1 or 2 flights towards status ?
    And a return flight to USA via London IE 4 flights will give me how many towards status ?
    Thanks sorry
    for being a neebie and asking a question that’s been covered probably a hundred times

    Two flights

    And a return flight to USA via London IE 4 flights will give me how many towards status ?

    Four flights

    Caveat: all flights have to be coded with a BA number, so BAxxx LHR-EDI, BAxxx EDI-LHR etc – so flying IBxxx LHR-MAD for example will not count for tier points on BA.

    A flight is a sector. A return is two sectors so you need 12.5 returns for Bronze or 25 returns for Silver using your Edinburgh to Heathrow example.

    A return to the states via London would give you 4 sectors towards the above.

    Thanks
    I was hoping that was the case 😜
    Now I feel more confident about my quest for status wether I’m foolish to try or not 🤔
