  Anyone know if the PP offer can be used for renewing an existing membership? When I called them, the agent had never heard of the offer, so I’m guessing it’s only for new members.

    I just let mine expire and get a new PP. You get mugged if you just renew.

  O/T – What’s the best option for airport parking – is it still purpleparking using the RAC code?? 🙂

    Try MSE for low pricing

      O/T as a standard one world flyer , I need to be in London tomorrow rather than pay £4000+ I have just found a £2900 first class return fare on garuda from Jakarta (where I am based ) to Heathrow , Garuda is supposed to be one of the most under rated products in the sky , things looking good so far , received a call this morning asking what is my pyjama size , what I would like to eat and arranging car transfers … sometimes a change is as good as a rest …

        Had an email from Garuda yesterday advertising London to Sydney or Melbourne in Business for £1,111… (!) Couldn’t find any actual availability at that price of course, but I didn’t look too hard as my travel is already booked up for the next six months. I saw something also about a “pay business, get first” offer. Have heard good things about them.

          Using garuda isn’t feasible at the moment to aus unless you want a night in Jakarta on the way back , the London flight leaves at 7.20 am and the inbound means a 6-7 hour wait in Jakarta

    NHS code also quite good with purple parking

    If parking for T5 with minimal luggage, JustPark at premier inn bath rd, 423 free TfL bus to T5. Buses also go to central bus station for T2 and T 3 over the Road

      Cheers Gavin – I will give it a try

      I realised I also have a Thistle hotel offer on my Amex (£50 off £100) so this may work out as a cheap option with accommodation thrown in, and I get to ride the pods too 😀

      Thanks Gavin – NHS took another £20 off the RAC price I received… took Meet and Greet down to a very acceptable price 🙂

    What is the RAC code?

  Flying to Kilimanjaro in March . Had to book on same flight as some friends on outbound . Only problem is its Kenyan on way out via Nairobi and returning via das & ams with klm. I have no sky team status but Ba gold, anything I can do to match or get quick status? If not I guess it’s priority pass and pay for seats for me.

  • signol says:

    Alitalia have been matching recently

    • Barry cutters says:

      26 Nov26 November 23:40

      tried them, its not currently running

  Must say this sale is odd. There are actually decent deals to many more places than advertised, you just have to search for them. A few East Asian destinations available in Club for about £1500… Bangkok for example is wide open on return through at least April, but no indication it’s included on the landing page. Bizarre for BA to only promote US/ME points.

  If anyone can’t make the Christmas drinks and want to sell me their ticket …

  Any flight on the BA 787 in economy isn’t worth it unless you are very very tiny!

  EK were doing Dubai for £300 on the A380.

  • Barry cutters says:

    26 Nov26 November 23:41

    -8 yes maybe, but the -9 is much better

• signol says:

  I ran some numbers.
  PP Black Friday offer on Standard: £41
  Groupon for Standard: £6 + £69/2= £40.5
  Groupon for Standard+1 visit: £6 + £84/2 = £48
  Groupon saving after 1 visit £8
  Added bonus with Groupon after paying £6 to them, you can hold on to the voucher until April before using at the locked in price for a year’s membership.
  I bought the Groupon deal.
