Today we are going to cover how to obtain OneWorld Sapphire status using the British Airways Executive Program from £1272. This mid-tier status would grant you access to lounges in the United States when flying American Airlines and give you Priority boarding as well as access to Main Cabin Extra seats.
In order to do this efficiency we are going to take advantage of a fare from the Middle East to South East Asia with SriLankan mixed with a Premium Economy fare from London to the Middle East
We are using London as a sample, but the fare and concept work from across Europe...
This has 3 components.
- A positioning flight to get the first BA segments
- The flight in Premium Economy with BA from LHR to Abu Dhabi or Dubai
- The flight with SriLankan in Business Class from Abu Dhabi or Dubai to Jakarta, Indonesia
1) Position either Friday Night or Saturday morning to INV for £44 (random search) HBO fare (5 TPs)
3) AUH-CMB-CGK 560 TPs for £720!
Arrive from LHR early morning or evening (forcing a day in UAE) as AUH-CMB leaves 2300
Cost: £44 for the positioning flight, £508 for PE flight to Middle East and £720 Business Class from AUH to Jakarta grand total £1272 and Zero to Silver status 😁 and 750 TPs
Tier Points Earnings: 5 each way for LHR to INV (10) , 90 each way (LHR-AUH) or 180 and 280 each way for (AUH-CMB-CGK) or 560. Grand total 750 TPs , Avios varies as due to the flights you became Bronze as soon as you land in CGK. Return to London and you are Silver. Obviously this could be improved or reduce the time needed
Gold Status could be done as a second trip (later in the year for the same price) so you would become BA Gold under £2500 while on 2 Vacations and not on a crazy Scandinavia/Hawaii multi-segment trip...
