Lots of news from British Airways this week. A new(-ish) route, a change to Tier Points earnings, and a partner starts some new routes, good for Avios redemptions. Oh, and some good news when using the American Airlines web site too.

Nonostante gli avvertimenti dell’ICAO e dell’EASA, molti vettori europei continuano a sorvolare il Mar Caspio, l’Iraq e l’Iran, aree considerate pericolose a causa dell’attività militare. Cathay Pacific è l’unica compagnia a evitare queste rotte, aumentando il tempo di volo per garantire la sicurezza. Al contrario, Lufthansa e Swiss sostengono che non ci siano rischi per i voli che operano a quote diverse dai missili.
American Express has increased the signup bonus for the Amex Blue for Business Credit Card to 20,000 points, doubling the previous offer. To earn the full bonus, cardholders must spend $5,000 within the first six months. The card also features valuable perks and no annual fee, making it an attractive option for businesses.
When I began collecting credit cards, I focused exclusively on the “points and miles” hobby. My goal was to accumulate measurable currencies that could be redeemed for free travel, and I paid no attention to other benefits that may have come with the cards. I didn’t know much about them, and I didn’t think I would keep the cards long enough to take advantage of them. These “soft” benefits of travel credit cards, however, were like the sides on my steak plate. I couldn’t ignore them forever. And, when I finally paid attention, some of them turned out to be a wonderful surprise.

Qatar Airways has announced a shift in its economy class seating configuration, moving to a 10-seat layout in its new Boeing 777 aircraft and retrofitting existing planes. While the new Recaro seats are designed to be slimmer, the pitch remains unchanged at 32 inches, raising concerns about passenger comfort amidst growing demand.
British Airways Executive Club suffered a serious devaluation earlier in 2015. I have rehearsed the highlights of the scheme in this presentation, delivered at FTU in Oslo in October 2015.

The British Airways Avios award search tool recently encountered a glitch, mistakenly defaulting the number of passengers to zero, leading to frustrating error messages. By simply changing the passenger count to one or more, users can resolve this issue and continue their award search. However, other ongoing problems, such as phantom award space on Cathay Pacific, remain unaddressed.
American Airlines has halted gift card sales to New Jersey residents due to legislative requirements, causing frustration for many. However, a simple workaround exists: by temporarily changing the billing address to a location outside of New Jersey, customers can successfully purchase gift cards. This method allows individuals to still enjoy the benefits of gift cards without the hassle of state restrictions.
Istanbul Atatürk Airport (IST) continues to struggle with significant delays, ranking first among European airports for delays and second for cancellations. With a surge in passenger traffic, driven largely by Turkish Airlines, the airport faces mounting challenges in accommodating the growing number of travelers.
