The new British Airways app has finally landed on my phone after what feels like two years of "coming soon". First impressions: it's genuinely good. But there's one change that's going to annoy points people. A thread 🧵

BA quietly made China Southern a full Avios redemption partner and almost nobody's talking about it. The interesting bit isn't the long-haul. It's the cheap stuff 👇

Genuinely one of the easier 30% Avios bonuses to act on this month if you've got Capital on Tap points sitting around. Qatar Privilege Club is running it 1-30 June, and CoT is a named partner. A few honest thoughts as someone with two CoT cards in the stack.
