Thought you may find this amusing.
If a flight leaves T5 more than 15 mins after scheduled time you get 5,000 BA miles courtesy of WIllie Walsh.
I am currently in the First Lounge waiting for BA444 to AMS Scheduled dep 20:00 - for the last 30 minutes showed as a 20:19 departure which would give me 5,000 miles - hurrah!!!
By some miracle the board now shows a departure time of 20:15

Yes all the info is updated from BAs systems and Heathrows ATC system. The change was almost certainly triggered when it came off the stack early due to below average holding.
Theres no manual intervention until a dispatcher starts work at around -40 mins.
The estimate doesnt matter anyway, its what time it actually goes that matters.

I think it is a good idea, with the punctuality figures at the moment being very high it might not be used too much. But if a flight goes late then it is a good reward for the regular travellers.

Quoting Henkybaby (Reply 5): Does anybody have a source for this offer?
It was in BA's UK website some time ago. I can't find it now so it may have had an expiry date. I believe it was restricted to BA Executive Club members living in the UK.

Quoting Scbriml (Reply 9): I believe the offer is also restricted to full, non-discounted fares.
The offer was restricted to UK Exec members aged 18years and over who are travelling on a domestic or shorthaul service. If their flight is delayed for more thasn 15 mins and these passengers are travelling on a J,C,D,Y,B or H fare then they will be entitled to 5,000 bonus BA miles.

The Executive crad holder must have accepted Permission to Market from BA as a trigger email will be sent to them to claim their miles.
