  Several of my pilot friends at Etihad have been giving out these same 2 codes to friends for a few years – it’s supposed to be a friends & family discount for staff I believe, hence the “STF” (staff) in the code! It’s been the same code for the last 3 years but varies between 15-30% discount, and normally the booking window opens around 5-6 times a year, for a few days each time. Expect the codes to work again sometime around the second week of December… 🙂

  Is it me or have the number of points needed for a redemption just gone up or the rewards chat miles changed or something? I thought Singapore was 120k miles return business when I checked last Dec but checking yesterday it 175k.

    The rewards chart and mileage bands I mean.

        I wonder what Peter has been doing for the last 18 months to miss that 🙂

        For benefit of anybody looking to book flights for next autumn, yesterday T-355 went off-peak again for the end of summer.

          I know about that of course but it seems to have changed since December 2015. Maybe I just made a mistake then..?

  Whilst I’m sure the fact that the Etihad discount code ends “BUS” and the economy one ends “ECO” shows what fares they can be used with, I think it’d be just worth clarifying that it cannot be used with first class.

  just bumping the story found by A.N.Other this morning British Airways to sell Marks and Spencers food on short haul https://www.businesstraveller.com/business-travel/2016/09/18/british-airways-will-sell-marks-spencers-food-short-haul/

  ‘At present British Airways is trialling a new website (Beta). If you make a booking for next year using the existing site, then for a booking in economy you are told that your flight includes “complimentary onboard food and bar service”. If you make your booking using the new Beta site, that information is not included.

  Of course for those who have already made bookings, where food and wine was included, presumably British Airways must continue to offer food and drink. For those who booked after a certain date (or used the new website to do so), then the new conditions will apply.’

    So free drinks might be going too as beta website doesn’t mention it. Great.

  OT:

  When does the Airberlin / Etihad promo of 1,000 points per Mates’ email address supplied ? It was capped at 12 or 15 I believe.

  Anyone got a link to the promo ?

  Cheers.

    I don’t know about Etihad, but if you’re talking about the Air Berlin promo where if ten of your mates signed up, you’d get 1000 points, that has long since been pulled. Too many people were doing it.

  O/T update on the MTX Connect deal for 6000 Miles & More points. Yesterday it looked like the ddeal had been around for ages and we’d missed the boat. I emailed MTX yesterday, and they’ve informed me today:

  “We sure that you are one of the first 1000 people. Award miles are usually credited within a few days, but can take up to 4 weeks.”

  So it looks like MTX tracked all the people who registered for a SIM card with their Miles and More number, and then the first 1000 people who topped up their balance by 20 Euros will get the points. That’s how I read it anyway. I’ll let everyone know when the points start to show up.

  Missed out on the Tesco sound bar points offer last time. Just ordered one with the £42 Samsung bluray player using code TDX-HTNK to get £25 off £150 spend.

  Spent a total of £126 for both items plus 1626 cc points/3902 avios – valuing the avios at 1p each, that’s £87 for the player and sound bar.

  Happy with that 🙂 Thanks for the tip off Rob!
