It may be reaching the point where we should probably just rename InsideFlyer as “When Will British Airways Executive Club Work Again?”, but I thought it was worth quickly sharing the latest ‘news’.

Accurate official comment from the airline about the delay to the planned system upgrade has been hard to get. I’m not sure why that has been the case (I mean, why not have a PR/comms disaster as well as an IT/tech one I suppose…), but it has meant that the BA twitter team has certainly been kept busy.
