  Will it be possible to use this with the Lloyds upgrade voucher? If so, it might be a good deal to get a premium economy at this price.

    Should be ok I would guess ….

    Yes I have done this before. But I had to ring them up as it wouldn’t go through online. IIRC the taxes for WT+ are higher than WT, thoigh, so factor that in.

  Hmm. I’d love to see the final numbers on the success of this promotion! Seems very niche, hotel rates are generally pretty high over those weekends too

  O/T but my lloyds voucher expires in Jan. I’ve looked for value out of it but it’s so very very poor. Does anyone have experience of a good value redemption they can share?

    LHR to BOS in Club World, off peak in September for 52000 avios and £490. Bargain!

    Off peak WT+ to CW upgrades are likely to offer the best value at just over half the number of avios otherwise required.

    We’re currently in Dubai – used some Etihad miles for the outbound with the return booked in BA CW using a Lloyds voucher to upgrade two of us one way – voucher plus 52,000 avios plus £340 in taxes and fees for the two of us.

    Without the voucher it would have been 100,000 avios.

    I am very happy with J to Denver next Sumner for 100,000 avios + £542 return. Cash price was £2300. Just about to trigger my second voucher…choices, choices…

    It seems to be more restrictive to me as you have to wait for both legs to become available for a return flight.

    I think it’s a great voucher – I’ve got Edinburgh to Chicago outbound then return from Toronto to Edinburgh (both via LHR of course) – cost 52k Avios + £350, saving 48k Avios (and TBH I was expecting higher taxes+charges).

  “Half off an economy redemption to a destination with flights regularly priced for less than the taxes? Oh joy oh rapture!”

  Have to agree with Raffles, really not much in this one – call me when there’s a promo on biz to NYC

    + 1. Who are they kidding? Flights regularly available for less all-in, even at those times.

• Rob says:

  You are buying Avios for 0.8p with zero effort …. not a bad deal at all.

    +1 converted some to BA yesterday.

  Can anyone tell me whether the Lloyd’s voucher has to be spent or actually flown by the expiry date?

  • jen says:

    15 Nov15 November 07:52

    I have one sitting in my account now and already booked next year worth of holidays. I did try a dummy booking for past the expiry date and seemed to work. But wouldn’t want to leave it too late to use and find it didn’t. Would be really interested to hear if anybody has successfully used it for a flight departing more than a year after issue?

    • Andrew says:

      I’ve used two for flights departing more than a year after getting the voucher. The only condition is that the flight is booked within a year

  • jen says:

    Thanks

• Matt says:

  I booked the return leg for after the voucher expiry date.
  @Grimz 8.22: some people haven’t been able to do this but booking both legs over the phone I was able to add the return at a later date.

  • Grimz says:

    15 Nov15 November 10:45

    Thats very interesting – so you was able to book one way and in the return when it was available?

    • Grimz says:

      15 Nov15 November 10:46

      Add

      • Matt says:

        15 Nov15 November 21:12

        Yes. Both phone calls were quite long but I was able to put a marker on the outbound that I would add the return when it opened up (even if that was after the voucher expired). Although needing to wait for the Avios phone line to open was a bit restrictive, overall the voucher was much more flexible than I expected.

        • Grimz says:

          Great thanks for that Matt. I would be booking the return long before expiry so that wouldn’t be an issue.
