December 31st - BA’s Executive Club revamp: spend more, earn more

from Simon Calder's Independent Travel Podcast

In today’s podcast, British Airways’ controversial changes to its Executive Club are now rebranded as the British Airways Club. From April 2024, loyalty will be tied directly to spending, making it harder for budget travellers to earn perks like lounge access and seat upgrades. I discuss how the revamped system impacts frequent flyers, with insights from industry experts on whether this shift rewards loyalty—or alienates economy travellers.This podcast is free, much like The Independent Travel newsletter.
