Maximising your miles from Avios, British Airways Executive Club, Virgin Flying Club and other travel loyalty schemes!
There is an interesting little bug on ba.com at the moment. Frankly, it is unlikely to last for long after this post goes live, but you should have time to jump on it if you’re interested. British Airways is currently running what is, on the face of […]
A quick reminder that tomorrow, Monday 9th, is the last day to earn 50% bonus Avios on various top retailers at Gate 365, the relaunched Avios store. The 50% bonus is available with: Apple Store Argos Charles Tyrwhitt Currys Debenhams Ernest Jones House of Fraser […]
British Airways Executive Club has launched a new service, in association with their wine partner Laithwaites, to allow you to trade your Avios for beer, wine or champagne! The good news is that the alcohol is genuinely free. You don’t need to pay a penny […]
Last week, I ran this post which touched on interesting Avios redemption opportunities which are disproportionately ‘cheap’. This is because they fall right on the edge of an Avios pricing band. Dublin to Boston, for example, is 2,993 miles and so is available at the cheaper […]
I rushed out a post on Monday to flag up the amazingly generous £1,000 Club World that British Airways was making available to certain destinations over Christmas. This has now been officially launched as a two-day sale, which expires on the 5th, but the best […]
Via the ba.com, Holiday Extras is offering 600 bonus Avios when you book an ’airport hotel with parking’ through them between December 1st and December 21st. This is on top of the standard earnings rate of 5 Avios per £1 spent. This bonus applies ONLY to ‘airport hotel with […]
This is one of the rare middle-of-the-day posts that I run when something crops up which I don’t necessarily expect to be around for long. Something odd is happening with British Airways Club World pricing to various destinations over Christmas. It is not clear if […]
British Airways has announced some new routes from London City Airport for the Summer 2014 timetable. We should expect similar announcements on a regular basis at the moment, as there are three new aircraft going into City soon to expand the BA operation. From a […]
Wine retailer Laithwaites, the UK’s largest mail-order wine retailer (it runs The Sunday Times Wine Club as well as pretty much every other branded mail-order operation), has been a BAEC partner for many years via The British Airways Wine Club. It has also offered deals to […]
British Airways is running yet another money-off promotion with one its partners. Following the recent Hilton, Shell and Avis offers, it is now partnering with Fairmont Hotels (Fairmont Banff Springs photographed below). The new offer is a discount of 20% on any Economy BA flight […]
This is spooky stuff, and is really pushing the boundaries of what can be done with IT today. This shot is from a British Airways billboard installed in Piccadilly Circus: Looks a bit dull? Take a look at how it looks in ‘real life’, via […]
Every year, British Airways parent company, IAG, holds an investor day for the financial community to update it on what is happening. The slides from this are always made available to the public, and you can access them here (look under the IAG tab). It is […]
British Airways Executive Club has relaunched its online shopping portal as Gate 365, as it begins to feel the pinch from cashback sites and competing online points malls. The old estore was not very well integrated with ba.com, and required you to log-in again even […]
