  Last years was better. Always seems to come the week I’m picking my wife up from Heathrow after she’s been away for a while… so quite nice to share it with her via social media

  When the flight attendant you slept with appears in the video o_o

  OT. I see that Hotels.com do not allow the reward evenings to be taken at all of the hotels they sell rooms for. You can therefore be quite disadvantaged if you are looking for a room in a specific area and wish to “cash in” a free night. Perhaps its tucked away somewhere in the small print, but if the practice becomes more widespread the value of using Hotels.com will go down.

  After last year’s viral hit, they needed to tell the story of how they met! It’s Christmas, nothing wrong with a bit of warm, fuzzy advertising, there are much worse things out there on the internet!

  Also 4x KrisFlyer Miles (=2000 points) when you rent with Hertz Worldwide for two or more days. Book by Nov 30 for rentals until Dec 31, 2017.

  OT – APD raised for premium tickets from April 2018. Economy remains for both long-haul and short-haul.

    not quite:

    “From April 2019 I will also freeze short-haul Air Passenger Duty rates and long-haul economy Air Passenger Duty paid for by an increase on Premium class tickets and private jets.”

      Blame The Guardian, they say just “From April …”

      • the real harry1 says:

        sorry again, just noticed the 2019 – also from the Grauniad – it must be 2018 otherwise wouldn’t be in this budget

      • the real harry1 says:

        22 Nov22 November 13:46

        the reason the Grauniad (& I) got it wrong is that HM Treasury tweeted ‘2019’ – it is of course from April next year

        but APD only goes up for Premium long haul

• the real harry1 says:

  22 Nov22 November 13:33

  sorry, I meant that APD on Premium short haul is not changing – just long haul

  • Cate says:

    That’s just from the UK though. Even more reason to look for long haul awards starting from Europe. I’d imagine BA’s 2-4-1 voucher when used for long haul flights would feel this.

      I’d go for another Holiday Inn Express franchise if I were you – the current one charges like the light brigade.
