Well done Rob and all on the site update.

Can I please sense check understanding about extending a 241.
241 currently valid until April 2022. I intended to use for a March 2022 booking. If this is cancelled by BA or by me, I understand that the voucher will become a FTV (along with the fees paid) and be valid for a further 2 years?

Thanks

BA confusingly use too many ‘voucher’ terms.

If you book something with your 241, and the flights are subsequently cancelled, or you decide not to travel, you can elect to have a refund (which you currently have to do by phone) OR a ‘Future Travel Voucher’.

A FTV is really just the existing booking on hold – or in credit. BA keep everything you have paid for you to use in future for new dates. You might have to add more avios or fees if the new dates cost more of either, there will need to be reward availability, and the companion must remain the same. The FTV remains valid until September 23 and your 241 is kept ‘alive’ within it until that date.

Tiriavpo, Are you restricted to the original destination with the FTV or can you effectively use the ‘frozen’ 2-4-1, Avios and taxes to book anywhere with availability until Sept 2023. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it can be wherever you want, provided there is avios availability. The only other subtle difference is all travel has to be complete by 30 Sep 23 – the normal 241 restriction is that just the outbound has to be before the expiry date.

You also can’t change the passenger names on the booking. So make sure you make the dummy booking with someone you like. 🙂
