When one of headline HY2025 announcements is refurbishment 10~20 year old aircraft starting in 2 years time obvious not all is well. If it was starting in 2 months time would be a different impression. Some other airlines with aircraft that old are sending to the scrap yard...

Agree that 4 segments should/could earn more than 2, but check the earnings per segment. LHR-xyz-abc-xyz-LHR vs LHR-abc-LHR.

Does Qatar QRPC allow you to book an award flight for others? From what I have read on FT with BAEC-QRPC you do not need to move avios, but can see and use the avios in the account. (true? others will know). Having 1 old BAEC account and 2 new BAEC accounts would not have helped.
