A QUESTION-BA Mileage Ticket from LOS

[jacko 8,815]

Seems ridiculous that I have to ask this question here, but BA seem incapable of answering a direct question via email and long distance telephone calls leave you hanging there clocking up the baht.

 

I flew to Thailand months ago on a free one-way ticket using my BA miles.

I didn't know when I would want to return, plus availability is easier if you book one way.

 

Figured I would use my BA miles again to go back and found an available flight (BKK to MAN) in Club class, everything seemed to work until the last step, having put in credit card details for a 50 quid tax charge.........then nothing. No error message, internet screen says DONE...but no reservation and a blank screen.

 

Anybody done this, booked a flight on BA on the internet using Executive Club miles originating in BKK to UK?

£50 tax? Are you sure?

Well that was the amount requested.

I guessed it to be LHR airport service charge and a government tax on the shuttle LHR-MAN

 

I did pay 80 GBP tax going the other way.

 

Anyhow couldn't get the booking, couldn't get help, available seat no longer there.

I've booked it from the UK, via the Executive Club a couple of times.

 

If you need someone to call them, I can do that for you.

Yeah, that's how I got to be out here in Thailand.......just can't get them to take me back.

 

BA actually called me here the other day.....after over 3 weeks of messages through their web page (their system will not accept a 'reply' email, you have to start again on their web-page. Each new message is likely not read thouroughly and you get a standard 'blurb' reply.)

 

Thanks for the offer, but the once available seats are no longer there.

I appear to recall flying back, one way from Bkk too. Just my imagination?
