It appears that BA&#8217;s Athens and Larnaca routes are also on 787 rotation at the moment, for the following dates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"block-9db634f5-2439-4a59-9144-8ad9d467fcd0\"><li>Heathrow &#8211; Athens BA632 2\/9\/16\/23 October 12:40-18:25<\/li><li>Athens &#8211; Heathrow BA633 2\/9\/16\/23 October 19:55-21:45<\/li><li>Heathrow &#8211; Larnaca BA662 1\/8\/15\/22 October 11:15-17:55<\/li><li>Larnaca &#8211; Heathrow BA663 1\/8\/15\/22 October 19:25-22:15<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can tell they are operated by 787, clicking the flight details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/ba-lhr-ath-787-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/ba-lhr-ath-787-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8536\" width=\"300\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/ba-lhr-ath-787-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/ba-lhr-ath-787-1-300x281.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Selecting business class, you are presented an unusual seat map: not 2-2 (Club Europe) or 2-4-2 (Club World), but 2-3-2 instead.

However, remember that the aircraft type is not guaranteed, therefore it could be switched at last minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Athens and Larnaca are on the 160-TP list, so you only need three roundtrips to hit BA silver. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britishairways.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You have until 30 September to book<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We talked about BA&#8217;s ludicrous sale a week ago, and a new trick has just emerged which you could use in combination.
