I am trying to move from Blue to Silver Status in British Airways Executive Club. I have enough Tier Points but need 4 eligible BA flights. If I book Dublin to Glasgow on BA website it shows me I would take 4 separate flights as the route is through Heathrow. Each of the flights has a BA Flight Number. Am I right in assuming this will be counted as four BA Eligible Flights?

    Yes if its 4 different BA flight numbers then it's fine..... its worth looking at options to Europe as they are often much cheaper that Intra UK flights!

    Not sure when you need to do this trip by, but a single day Dublin to Manchester (via Heathrow) and back again on Sat 16 Nov is approx £135.

    Thanks TUG - needs to be done by 8th December - that is my Exec Club Year End - I have 600 Tier Points - and need 4 BA flights to achieve Silver for next year. I live in N Ireland but have free Bus and Rail travel so could easily go to Dublin to fly as BA from Belfast is pricey

    Thanks for that - I live in N Ireland but can travel free and easily to Dublin Airport - I'll check out flights from Dublin to Europe - I thought as I was starting in Dublin that would be cheaper anyway
