BA appears to be honouring pre-28 April partner earning at old levels
When BA announced significant changes to its Avios earning programme, it promised that tickets issued by 28 April would be honoured at the old, typically more generous, rates.

BA OnBusiness scheme relaunches
BA has a scheme for Small and Medium businesses allowing them to earn points separate from their travellers who earn their normal points. The scheme has been switched to a revenue based scheme and got markedly less generous. However, there is a way to secure a 5% discount on BA fares, by giving up your OnBuiness points. Worth taking in my view. The scheme has decent availability – better than Avios from what I can see. However, you have to book upgrades at the ticket of ticketing at their web site, and it doesn’t offer the cheapest fare when upgrading.

The weirdness of travel…or specifically other passengers!
Sometimes passengers surprise you. It’s just this trip that they did this in a bad way. Was I threatened by one passenger with revenge for not allowing her to sit with her friend, and why did another demand to know if I smoked. It’s the incredible weirdness of travel, at least that is what I am telling myself.
