  Kinnell.
  OSL-DOH-SIN-SYD and back on QR/QF/BA (with connection times of 1-2 hrs rather than several short eternities), £1,087 on gotogate. All ticketed and visible in MMB.
  Could have done it without the extra 280 TPs – sorry, connection in SIN, obvs – for the same dosh. That plus family hol next Xmas for £609 (DUB-MAD-MIA) on IB renews Gold for me and the Mrs, plus Silver for the saucepans.
  So, Oz for a grand / 840 TPs for a trip I need to do on business anyway. Thanks Raffles / FT Community / everyone that’s shared the knowledge to help bag these deals.

  I spent ages looking for BKK dates but couldn’t find anything useful for me. If I wanted to go only for a couple of weeks then perhaps but I also hate the thought of having to drag my ass to some Scandinavian backwater (and I lived in pre immigration destroyed Sweden) just to shave a few hundred off a bill.

  Now give me LHR to BKK for a grand and I’m all yours !

    Sadly Talay, we may never see that price from LHR. It’s why we troop off to Europe, am afraid. And it’s def more than a few hundred saved for us. Our CPH HKT are only £770, as opposed to 2k approx from our local lovely LHR. Mega savings, so well worth it for the bulk of us poverty stricken travellers on this site! We all obviously love a bargain! And are prepared to work /suffer! for it.

      When are you going to Phuket? I was thinking of booking one of these for the end of school hols in September but it’s rainy season there. Pity the offer ends mid Dec as I would want to go just after Xmas 16. Plus adding positioning flights incl baggage and a night in Oslo would have taken it up to close to £1k so I chickened out. Also heard the Krug has dried up in Al-Mourjan

  When booking these flights how do your ensure the miles go to BA. I have a qatar account, do they ask you upon booking? Id rather not have a huge amount of Qatar miles which i’ll never use!! 😉
  Thanks

    You make sure you go into the QR website and change your FF number to your BAEC no.,it’s under the personal details section. Also before you check in and when you are in the lounge make doubly sure your BAEC no is on the boarding card or is changed in the lounge or at the gate . They will do this for you. We always do this, and leave no miles with QR.

  Great recommendation – found PAR/MLE for £950 over October half term and PAR/CMB for £840 for Christmas. Paris is an easier hop with kids. CMB booking 15th to 31st December but it would have let me book until further into January! Seems the travel period applied to the outbound rather than the inbound flight.
