So do you have to be logged into IB to transfer Avios from BA or is it easier to log into BA and transfer that way? The page hasn’t been loading for me on IB all day.

Avios arrived and spend..

Yay! I booked on Saturday, and they’ve all posted!

On another note, my Welsh boyfriend is currently making loud trumpet noises and yelling Olé at the TV. How soon can I book?

  That’s the Welsh for you

    He’s slightly more subdued now, and has reverted to his default setting of cynicism and general bitterness towards the Sais.
    
    So Harry (me old mate) did your points come through yet?

Mine are in and I thought I’d check HfP for ideas on what to do with them 🙂 Now this is the kind of fun travel shopping, have absolutely no need for a trip so this is purely for fun and for a little jaunt!

Ideas welcomed for me and the wife!

I have 80,000 of my expected 90,000…weirdly

  One missing here too. 81000 instead of 90000. Not complaining. 1x was booked on the Spanish website in Euros – I’m presuming it is that one missing.
  - Richmond says:

    I have one missing too. Bought 10 tickets, first two on Spanish website. Already sent email to Iberia, to claim missing avios.

      What e-mail did you use, I find the navigation horrendous!

  Also missing one.

I created a new account on the Sunday afternoon to credit the avios to. I was kicked out of the app yesterday and been unable to reset the pin or gain access via the app or website since.
Nice man in the call centre advised that a number of new accounts were suspended on the weekend of the promotion and I had to send a copy of my passport or Spanish ID to clasica@iberia.es to get it reenabled.
Just in case anyone else is in the same boat 🙂

All 90k Avios posted for me (bought tickets on the Saturday afternoon). Just redeemed for a business class return to Bogota – what a deal! Thanks for all the info Rob and all.
Two questions I wouldn’t mind answering please:
1) I see seat selection is free anyway… is it possible to change the IB number to a BA number, and if there any point in doing so?
2) Did anyone else see that message about bringing the payment card with you to check in? Never seen that before… anyone know if this is enforced? I wonder what happens if the card is lost and replaced…
- marcw says:

  Yes business class seat selection in Iberia is FREE. You can change you FF number. Use Qatar/Finnair websited to do so.
  2. Sometimes they will ask. Fraud protection. Bring the card with you, they will ask at check-in.

    Most airline have this requirement. BA sometimes asks about it in Oslo, happened to me.
  - Lady London says:
    
    4 Jul4 July 10:17
    
    I’d bring an expired card with me if I’d used it for the booking, just in case.
    It would be a perfect excuse for an airline to offload you from an overbooked flight you had a seat booked on, free of charge, if they asked for the card and you couldn’t produce it.

  Bogota…. I wouldn’t show my face there for a while mate!!!!!!!
  - Andrew says:
    
    3 Jul3 July 23:21
    
    Haha! It’s for next May so hopefully the sting will have worn off by then. I am a little worried I’m going to be very gently nutted in the chin at some point though… I’ll be careful!
