To all Muccis - Pucci's Blonde OLCI moment

I am probably going crackers but when is the earliest that you can OLCI if you are Silver or Gold. I'm at a friends and she is Silver (actually her real name is Pearl (by name and by nature)). Her MMB shows that OLCI starts 25 hours before departure? I'd always assumed that it was 24 hours. Can someone tell me if 25 hours is correct in her case?

I have summonsed the Mucci brigade but this is open to all - who knows you may be looking Muccihood in the making?

I think this is because the system clock has not been changed since the change to BST.

Regards

It has been working OK at T-25 since the clocks changed - though none of us know why since it hasn't happened this way previous years. We don't know if it's a permanent change or not. Either way, she should be able to OLCI at T-25 at least for now.

Now another thing. When I try to book now on line whenever I change the destination I get a pop-up saying that the Class is wrong! Several times it does that. Anyone know why?

Hmm. Haven't experienced that myself Pucci, probably something else wrong with ba.com.....

At least it's not the Club Europe that comes up as "null" on an Excel plane

I was warned by my mother to beware of women who offer incentives.

Hi,

If I'm looking at a destination in Club Europe and then change the destination , the cabin class goes back to Economy and prices out as such so I have to redo the cabin class.

Regards

Where's the blonde moment? Seeing the title I wondered a blonde Pucci knows (for it couldn't possibly be HRP) had tried OLCIing for a flight they are working, or accidentally selected a middle seat.

I am sure you are not going crackers PUCCI, if you are we all are dead!

OLCI is a recalcitrant and fiddly little bit of software. It has its good days and it has its bad days. It is also, like a nasty little doggy, not adverse to nipping your ankle when you aren't looking.

In theory it is T-24 and we have all commented on the fact that is seems to be on T-25 at the moment because of some summertime clock glitch.

However I have had two flights in the last few weeks on BA which I OLCI'd. One time the little doggy let me in at T-25 and the other time it did not! I had to wait paitently for an hour whilst the little thing went for a walk, sniffed a tree and did you know what, chewed on its bone, etc. Then it let me in.

So my advice is try at T-25, but have the bottle of wine at the ready to sit it out for an hour.

BA or bust

P.S Before I have any complaints, I LIKE DOGS, just not nasty ones.

PUCCI I was advised to OLCI T-25 about 3 weeks ago and it worked for me! I'm sure it will work for Pearl. It won't do any harm for her to try.

I was able to OLCI 24-1/2 hours early a few weeks ago, and I'm only Blue.
