Pleasantly surprised this has held above 300p over the last week or so carnage. Bodes well for 2025.HNY all. 360p this time next year :-) |
Happy New Year all. |
The middle east carriers can't do anything to compete on west bound traffic. But I agree they're going to lose a lot of leisure travel to EZY, VA etc. |
The next area the bean counters will try and attack is the very generous staff travel perk, especially for partners and family. I am not privy to the details but from conversations with fellow passengers it is clear that this is costing BA lost revenue. Good luck switching from BA to other loyalty schemes as short haul the competition is usually Ryanair and Easyjet. BA has abandoned many lucrative Asian routes as it cannot overfly Russia or Ukraine. |
Not sure that I agree.
They will lose a lot of existing loyal card holders who will switch to other airlines schemes.
High spending corporate customers will prefer to fly wih the middle eastern carriers, who offer a much better product and , it seems now , loyalty scheme.
You can only charge more for loyalty, IF you have a better product than the competition.........at the noment , BA is lagging way behind.
Shame to see the share price with a slight fall today, when others are positive. |
Totally agree and explained far better than I could. It's The Sun with the silly headline which says it all really. Once the dust settles as you say I think it will be very attractive with those with the big pockets. Another longer term strategy winner imo. |
I think they had to do something with the loyalty scheme. Quite often there were 30 minute queues to get into the AGP vip lounge because of all the BA gold card holders who were just flying economy. For over ten years I was stuck on blue level but one short flight with Cathay Pacific tipped me over into bronze. Essentially this is clearing the decks of legacy travellers for new high spending travellers to build their loyalty. As a business decision it is sensible but don't expect Telegraph readers to like it. |
For me its the share buyback and reworked buy valuations by so many of the top brokers that's the key story imo. Should see the share price rise nicely in 2025. |
There are pros and cons to the changes and been based on customers feedback. The independent runs a more balanced view and those wealthier travelers like it. There's a brand new app close to going live early 2025 ... will be v good GLA |
strengthening into close.good sign gl |
Fake shake

Great month. Think this will accelerate much harder starting next year. |
300p cleared hopefully |
Closed over 3 again on a dire market day. |
I spoke too soon! |
Good sign as she stays above 3.00 in todays melee! |
Merry Christmas Spitfire, but can I just point out that last time I checked IAG deals in aeroplanes not boats! Mind you flying into the sun might not be appropriate |
Merry Christmas to you and your family |
As Christmas approaches and I will be off here over the next week want to wish all on here a really good one. Must add it's a great forum with really good contributors imo so much appreciated from my side. Merry xmas and hope this boat sails nicely on into the sun for 2025. GLA |
Perfectly true but the company is so cash generative it can afford to constantly buy back those shares over the next few years and simultaneously gradually increase the divi. |
Held above 3 quid, hopefully significant. |
Remember 600/700p was when there were billions less shares in issue. Right now we're already at 600p on old money. |
