  5cl bottles of spirits? Not checked Copenhagen but most airport ‘duty free’ outlets stock them.

  About £2.

  I’m in CPH soon, so I will have a scoot round to see what I can come up with but the chewing gum seems plausable

  • Johnny5a says:

    14 Mar14 March 08:49

    I assume I can get something on arrival and something when I leave

      The Tax Free Shop at Copenhagen Airport
      In Tax Free you can order Tax Free products and pick them up when departing from Copenhagen Airport. If you are traveling within the EU, you can also pick up your Tax Free products when arriving at Copenhagen Airport.

  I haven”t got a miles and more account but could shift some of my future flights there rather than Aegean. Is the best use of m and m long haul? Also slightly OT do they ask for your company registration if you apply for their partner plus scheme? I don’t have a company yet but fancy the idea of using the points for a business upgrade!

  • Rob says:

    14 Mar14 March 09:19

    Upgrade, I imagine, will only be from a flexible economy ticket (ie the sort companies buy) rather than a cheap one

  • John says:

    TBH there is no real good use of M&M if you don’t fly a lot. If you are currently crediting to A3 that means you can’t be earning too many miles per year…
    LH / LX F would be a nice redemption which may even be worth buying miles, if the prices and dates are right

    • Felixstowe Flyer says:

      Thanks for your thoughts. I credit Aegean to keep my gold status but wasn’t sure of the redemption ease. Also more opportunities for m & m earning but only of use if the redemptions are any good. May look more at United.

  More typical of the area and a favourite of mine:

  I don’t have a Miles & More account at present, but the CPH deal might make it worth signing up. What’s the best use for M&M miles?

  • Czechoslovakia says:

    I only use the on Lufthansa`s worldshop, as redemptions have taxes so high, its usually cheaper to book a cash ticket. Upgrades seem poor value compared to Avios, too.

    • idrive says:

      I have a long time M&M account and I have just reached my target ( which I will keep as a backup pot for long haul purposes). I do not think these offers above are worth starting collecting at all.
      You might want to start if you fly long haul at least 1/2 times in 2/3 years by accident (a flight that you happen to buy for any reason, rather than buying an Avios or else qualifying ticket).
      these might be good for top up or for arbitrage as advised but you much are you likely to be in Copenhagen Airport more than once over the next month? i prefere the Heathrow Rewards deal at some point!

      • scottnothing says:

        On that note – am pleased to report that the 1000 Heathrow Rewards Points for £10 spend featured by Raffles on this site on 20 Feb worked for me. Bonus points credited the same day as the transaction. Thanks!

• Idrive says:

  14 Mar14 March 14:03

  I agree! Nice one!

• Alan says:

  I agree probably not worth collecting M&M just in these offers if you’re not going to have ongoing earnings, but their credit card is currently offering an 11,500 mile signup bonus which would be a good kickstart to things!

• idrive says:

  14 Mar14 March 15:03

  1500 not 11,500, where did you get that info? BTW I got that card and it’s the only way. though, that would be an opportunity cost in terms of Avios/AA. the point is: it’s worth collecting to increment a position you hold.
  I decided to go ahead as I had a couple of Thai flights already
  With current credit card offering (Virgin on Top+Amexes) , i would not duplicate it now.

  • Alan says:

    14 Mar14 March 15:53

    It said 11,500 in the email they sent me. I forwarded it to Rob so he may cover it in a future post!

    • idrive says:

      14 Mar14 March 16:19

      I can read it on the Lufthansa website, not on the MBNA. if you try to apply, it does not quote 10000 bonus but only 1500, so far

    • Rob says:

      14 Mar14 March 17:38

      Yes, it is definitely 11,500! I will run it on Monday, hopefully the application site is ok by then.
