    Is it just me who finds this competition not worth the time. I did enter last year most days, but none of the prizes was anything I remotely wanted. A big slug of points would have been much more desirable (to me).

    • Rob says:

      I couldn’t even get it to work which partly explains the lack of an article.

        Strange works fine on both iPhone and Macbook using Safari.

        Believe you get 500 points for every 5 days in a row you enter even if you don’t won anything so worth the 1 min a day it takes.

          Still 1,500 free points available to anyone who starts playing today!

          Fine for me on an Android phone.

          I have no interest in most of the prizes, I just like points a lot.

    What competition is this?

  • @mkcol says:

    This is so O/T I haven’t a clue what you’re on about… “Iggy”??

      A microscopic snowman hidden in a picture. Find him , then guess value of an item, add in your IHG membership number and hopefully get some points- provided you do it 5 consecutive days. Like you , had no idea, but went onto ihg advent calendar . Only did this after following Anon, who ,very obligingly, does all the work and tells the rest of us. Otherwise, I couldn’t be bothered.

  Stupid question, bit new to all of this. if I have a lot of BA avios, can I transfer them to my avoid account to use them elsewhere? Or is there a way to use them for a finnair redemption?

  • Rob says:

    8 Dec8 December 07:28

    You can redeem in Finnair via BA.com. Just put, say, Helsinki to Delhi into the usual redemption booking page and it will show if available.

  • Frankie says:

    8 Dec8 December 07:29

    Yes you can. It’s easy. Use the Combine My Avios link in your avios.com account to move them in either direction.

  I’d rather spend the £120 to fly on one ticket from LHR with checked through luggage and the new Cathay lounge to be honest.

  • John says:

    You’re still starting from LHR and it’s all one ticket, so you can use the CX lounge. You can also recheck your baggage in HEL from 6pm on the day you arrive, if it’s too difficult to drag 10 minutes to the Hilton.

• kt74 says:

  Quick question… DUB-HEL tier points… Avios calculator is suggesting only 40 (vs 80 from LHR). Is the correct? And if so, then it’s one with watching for if you’re expecting more…

  • Brendan says:

    8 Dec8 December 08:39

    Yes it’s only 40. The short haul plus routes are only ex-UK

  So if I fancy Asia mid-late Jan, would you take this or gamble on an early Jan eu Qatar sale?

  • Brian says:

    8 Dec8 December 12:11

    Take this. That way, you don’t arrive in Doha in the middle of the night when you really want to be sleeping and therefore can’t take advantage of the lounge, plus you don’t have all the hassle of getting to your ex-EU starting point.

  • James R says:

    8 Dec8 December 12:45

    As great as Qatar is, if I was booking Asia I’d probably go for this. Qatars equipment change problem drives me up the wall. You could book onto a 787 then end up on an old 332. At least you can put your money on this with confidence you’ll be on the 350

  • John says:

    8 Dec8 December 18:38

    I’d also prefer AY but you do get 560 TPs on QR.

• Daniel says:

  Finnair flights from LHR are often the first to suffer from equipment changes if an A350 is required for the long-haul route. My last Friday flight was dropped from A350 to A321 48 hours before departure, fortunately I managed to snap row 10 seats.

  I got return to Bangkok for April easter weekend for £1,400 return when the price for prem econ in BA was £1,300

  If that doesn’t justify a two hour stop in Helsinki then nothing does. Plus being an AV geek always wanted to try the A350 and get it on 3 of the 4 legs

    Not that I have looked recently but I always thought premium economy an overpriced product. I did the Eva version once and thought it only marginally better than economy and a gazillion miles off the business class product which seems these days to be just a couple of hundred pounds more expensive. Etihad last month for instance was £1166 on LHR-BKK including chauffeurs !
