BA Miles and the Executive Club
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
helencbradshaw
Advantages: Use of Lounge, free Airmiles, Upgrade vouchers
Disadvantages: You can lose your membership quickly, if you stop flying for any time
Well, there has been not too many complementary experiences about the BA Miles scheme, which was born this time last year, from the old Airmiles scheme. I have to say, I have been pretty pleased with my lot from BA, particularly, as I have done most of my flights for business and didn't have to pay to earn my miles anyway. Can't grumble at that, eh?
I had been a memeber of BA Executive Club, collecting Air Miles for about five years or so, when ...

BA Executive Club - an easy way of travelling
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
adicos
Advantages: On-line check-in, easy to use, you can choose your seat
Disadvantages: None for me yet
I’ve discovered British Airways Executive Club one and a half years ago.
Until then, I’ve been flying with different airline companies, as Air France or Tarom (this is the Romanian company and I used it a lot, as I was born in Romania).
So, I’ve been flying from Bucharest to London and back for 10 times in the last 18 months. For the first 4 times, I used Tarom, as I thought it is the cheapest (these were personal flights, not business flights, ...

British Airways - Miles Better
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
Luigi
Advantages: Fair deal, easy to accumulate, straightforward
Disadvantages: Not available on all flights
“The British Airways Executive Club isn't just another frequent flyer programme. It's been designed to recognise and reward business travellers with exclusive benefits every time they fly.” This was the advertisement which I saw whilst making my first business trip in 1994, travelling to Dulles Airport, Va., and not knowing what it was all about. I had boarded the BA 747 aircraft at LHR (London Heathrow Airport), and was travelling to the USA for ...

British Airways Executive Club is for me.
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
Susie-34668
Advantages: Flown several times free, or up-graded.
Disadvantages: Dates are difficult to come by.
...went back to England, on British Airways, I decided to sign up for their frequent flyer miles. I figured I would be visiting family at least once a year, so I might as well reap the benefits.
Both Len and I have the Blue Executive card. That is the bottom of the range, and I feel after 15 trips with them, that it is all that we will achieve. I assume business flyers obtain the Silver and Gold status. Basically it is the fare class that gives you ...

BA Executive Club Household Account
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
stormdevil
Advantages: Accumulate lots of miles
Disadvantages: Don't get a household account and try and spend them
BA Miles Household account is the biggest pain out.
I thought it would be a good idea to merge my BA miles with my husbands so we signed up for the Household account.
All was fine until I went to book tickets and then found out we can only get tickets for myself and my husband as the 2 members of the account. I didn't add the kids as they don't hold BA executive cards and there didn't seem any point in them having one either.
But apparently ...

It's only "Executive" if you are not "Blue"
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
Jerushjo
Advantages: Points make prizes! (Well, flights actually)
Disadvantages: Economy flights don't give as many points as you'd hope
I joined the BA Exec club when my company relocated to Scotland - so I was flying up and down every week. (They don't called it the "red eye" for nothing.....) As the company were paying and it was Business class, the points really built up. I had plenty of free flights over the next couple of years. Two free flights to Israel and lots of personal trips London to Edinburgh, plus a few to Dublin.
I soon became a "Silver" member, which gives you ...

British Airways Executive Club Experience
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
baba2dan
Advantages: Free Flights, Easy to use, Good support
Disadvantages: Too few Miles for Economy, Too Hard to Reach Next Tier Status
Brilliant. Stay loyal and you will be rewarded! I have flown with BA about 10 times usually the London to Johannesburg route and mostly flying in Premier economy which is roughly £1000 a time. I also use the BA AMEX card that helps me collect miles. I have just reached the critical 100,000 air miles that has enabled me to book a return business class flight from London to Joburg, which would have cost me £3500. Ok so I had to pay the tax, which was ...

Businessperson's feather-bed
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
Worldboy
Advantages: Excellent service and a recognition of the number of times you fly if it is business
Disadvantages: not good for the economy traveller
Okay so I am particularly sad - accrued over 1,000,000 BA miles in only 2.0 years, got my Gold card in just 5 months! I also have flight attendant girlfirend so I guess you could say I have some experince(!) with comercial airline travel.
So BA does offer a lot to the BUSINESS traveller including being top of the list for upgrades if you have the Gold (Emmerald Card in "oneworld" speak). Sure you get to go into First lounges etc but the real difference ...

No more Air Miles
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
andyandyandy
Advantages: Only for corporate fat cats in 1st
Disadvantages: No air miles, only airplane tickets, increased travel needed for short haul
BA have just announced changes to their executive club reward scheme. Alledgedly a fairer system it gives miles according to distance flown rather than the quantised system that existed before, which was heanily weighted in favour of UK-USA flights. Unfortunately the new system replaces the existing air miles one (which continues in parallel)and can only be used to redeem for flights. It also ends up 'costing' more for those short hauls flights to ...

How hard do you have to try
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
WorldGirl
Advantages: lounge access for Silver & Gold
Disadvantages: took a lot to get out of Blue
This whole fiasco of abandoning Air Miles in favour of BA miles is a joke.
What I'm currently whinging about is the fact that it doesn't seem to matter how far I fly, I can't seem to get my membership upgraded to Silver status. According to the web site I actually have enough *miles* to get to Australia! I don't actually believe that ('cos I do quite a lot of flying to the states - although I'm not sure that ) but I still don't have enough *points* ...

B.A. Exec. club - pain up the butt sometimes
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
melldrew2
Advantages: miles dont expire
Disadvantages: cards expire and its difficult to step up to silver and gold
I found B.A. executive club one of the better frequeny flyer programmes in some ways.
At least your miles accrued do not expire if unused like some other programmes.
They do seem to move the goalposts around nowadays, but that is only to be expected. Especially this new points scheme.
I have used the airmiles to allow my wife to join me in some parts of Europe when I have been working.
The one thing that does irritate me though is nearly every ...

B.A Miles News and Update
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
Victor77
Advantages: 50% miles on cheapest economy seats
Disadvantages: More harder to qualify for a free ticket than before.
Hi all,
The latest news and gossip on how to make the most of your B.A miles now in. If you have a family of at most 3 others you can batch their points together to get your reward. This works well because lots of times they have special giveaways which you can collect on members of your family and use these towards your own rewards. A good example is the offer of 250 miles for your first use of a B.T calling card
Get the whole family a card ...

Up and down the Golden ladder
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
pilot61
Advantages: Good lounge at Heathrow
Disadvantages: No real benefits for Economy class passengers
The BA system gives you two sorts of points for each flight - "miles" which can be coverted into free flights and "tier" points which are used to move you up to a higher level. The levels start at Blue then go through Silver to Gold. Each year you have to get enough tier points to maintain your level or you drop back one level. The Blue level has no advantages other than you can save up points for free flights, while the Silver and Gold levels allow, ...

BA Best By Far
Review of British Airways Executive Club by
davidson1969
Advantages: Consitantly the best,
Disadvantages: Can't think of any
Having flown regularly for work in recent years I have been lucky enough to fly many ailines or in some cases UNLUCKY.
My resounding conclusion is that BA are the best and offer by far the best frequent flyer program. Why? Firstly service is always consistant, and they look after you if you are an Exec member, especialy when you get to Silver and above. I always book either economy or Premier and am always (touch wood) upgraded to at least Business. ...
