(EDIT: Code added which is 10123) The current IHG Rewards Club (Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental etc) promotion is called ‘Set Your Sights’. I wrote a full explanation here. It runs until 30th April and is pretty generous for most people. The problem is that it requires a […]
British Airways announced yesterday that it will be moving its operation at London Gatwick to the South Terminal in November 2016. This move has been on the cards for some time. It has been driven by easyJet – the biggest airline at Gatwick – which […]
