LH appears to have had a go at matching the current BA sale to select destinations over Christmas and New Year. Well one destination at least. I found one pair of dates when you can get from LHR to MEX in Business class for £1060. Weirdly you have to stop in FRA for a day on the…
Grabbing a few extra Tier Points with BA’s Flash Sale
Reports abounded yesterday about BA offering a flash sale to a number of destinations for the next couple of days. There doesn’t seem to be many ways to get extra Tier Points or value through BA.com. I tried Americanairlines.co.uk and found this offering: This adds an extra 80 Tier Points to the 240 earned for…
I know it’s Thanksgiving….but
It’s also a great time to check the expiry dates of your Miles and Points. As someone who lost 100,000 Flying Blue miles because I missed that they were expiring, I know that a few minutes post-Turkey, can save tears later in the year.

Hyatt Place, Fort Lauderdale Airport and Cruise Port – great Place!
There is more than one Hyatt Place in FLL, and I selected the closest. This was a good choice as my flight from Washington Dulles was nearly four hours late – getting in at 1am. A fellow 1K passenger on my flight from Seattle was also flying on the same plane and I guested…
UK Security Scanner use to expand, but opt-out added
I fear that the UK Government has fallen in to the Security Theatre so popular with our transatlantic cousins when the Secretary of State for Transport announced yesterday that it would be expanding the use of millimetre wave scanners to additional airports and allowing those currently using them to continue to do so. So, the…

United leaves Thailand and drops Seattle – Narita
United has indicated that it will be dropping its Narita to/from Bangkok flights in early 2014. As part of its agreement with other airlines (ANA), service will be provided until 29 March 2014 by United. Apparently the United staff at BKK have been told about this. Of course ANA will not be offering upgrades using…
