  Been to Levi, stunning place and well worth a visit but that departure time from Levi on the return will be painful.

    Agreed. We looked at the Finnair KTT flights on Avios points last year, but the taxes/fees were so high that we went indirect with Norwegian instead, wasting some time, but saving some cash and Avios.

  • Tim says:

    Agreed. We did LHR-HEL-KTT with Finnair on points for about £90 pp. Coming back we flew a £17.50 RFS with BA HEL-LHR and got to Helsinki on the overnight train from Rovenemi which was excellent and has bus connections from Levi, Kitilla etc. Seat61 has some details and it cost about £100 pp for an ensuite compartment which of course counts as a nights accommodation too.

  OT: Hainan to fly Edinburgh to Beijing. Rotation is cyclic with Dublin providing a mix of direct and indirect option in each direction. Is Hainan in any alliance yet? Seem to recall reading something about that a few months ago.

  Entirely OT – good afternoon from Beijing 🙂 Has anyone got any recommendations for lounges at PEK? I’m flying AY home Monday morning, and have BAEC silver and priority pass… any help very welcome!

  • johnny_c-l says:

    I recommend the Air China lounge (accepts Priority Pass), it’s got a few different seating areas and good views.

      Me too but don’t expect too much of it!

    • David says:

      16 Mar16 March 09:19

      Better than the Cathay lounge? I guess I’ll lounge hop til I find something 🙂

      • johnny_c-l says:

        16 Mar16 March 12:15

        Not been in Cathay, so can’t compare.

        The BA one (BGS) is alright but I think the main one to avoid is the lounge at the hourly hotel which is basically a seating area near reception with a fridge of canned drinks and no windows.

  • Rob says:

    16 Mar16 March 09:21

    I can tell you that the lounge BA uses for F passengers is a total joke …..

    • Kai says:

      16 Mar16 March 09:57

      The BGS lounge is small but food is good

  O/T – Any recommendation on using the frequent flyer program for one off KLM flight (~10000 miles).

  • David says:

    16 Mar16 March 09:20

    Personally, I’d credit it to Delta. Not the most exciting program out there but at least the miles don’t expire.

  • JamesB says:

    16 Mar16 March 16:14

    Check out if it worth opening a FB account and then redeeming on pointshound. 10k FB cash and money would get you a return flight in Europe from June 1 or a longer one way flight.

    • VJ says:

      I’m sorry what is FB here?

      • Peter K says:

        16 Mar16 March 17:50

        I guess, Flying Blue, the Rewards program for KLM/Air France.

      • JamesB says:

        16 Mar16 March 20:06

        Yes, FlyingBlue

• prefer not to say says:

  OT sorry. The missus forgot to have my Heathrow Rewards cards scanned last week. Receipts show her name (different surname). Can I just email this to HR cus services and ask them to credit the purchases to my account? Or will I need to open a separate account in her name and have the stuff credited there?

  • Rob says:

    16 Mar16 March 09:19

    Should be ok, yes.

• ITAmateur says:

  16 Mar16 March 09:59

  OT, apologies. Is there a way to instruct ITA Matrix to fly LON-PVG in biz and following a long layover, econ to TYO? I realise I can construct a multi city itinerary but am just wondering if it can be done through routing codes. What I’ve got now is

  LHR,LGW :: PVG /f bc=D|bc=I|bc=Z|bc=J|bc=C|bc=D|bc=U; minconnect 36:00

  this gives me biz to TYO with a connection in PVG and a long layover, am just missing the econ bit.. Any help appreciated, tks

  RE CAX->DUB

  Looks like the inaugural flight is already well booked – seats at £125; otherwise from £45 outbound and ~£39 inbound. I suspect that we shall be very tempted by a flight during the second week!

• Ben says:

  16 Mar16 March 10:33

  OT.
  My TP year ends on the 8th April and I have a flight on the 6th April, is there anyway I can get them to not credit the flight till after? I ask as I have got Silver now (not going to make gold before then) but want to go for Gold next year.
  Thanks

  • Rob says:

    16 Mar16 March 10:36

    No, they won’t do that.

    They WILL do the opposite, ie give you a 1 or 2-week extension if you are just short but have a flight booked.

    • Ben says:

      16 Mar16 March 11:02

      Damn, OK thanks

    • Evan says:

      16 Mar16 March 20:22

      Bit OT: Partner was 5 TPs short of silver this year – 595 points at re-qualification date, but BA have just renewed silver again for 12 months anyway – is this normal? We didn’t ask for any leeway although we did do another flight 2 weeks post renewal date. I’m planning to just keep quiet obviously.

      • Rob says:

        16 Mar16 March 23:30

        Yes, it does happen sometimes as a goodwill gesture.

  • RIccatti says:

    16 Mar16 March 14:09

    But you can try removing BAEC number at the gate, and then submit a claim after your TP year ends.

    • Ben says:

      16 Mar16 March 14:31

      How very clever RIccatti. Does anyone know if this would work. Nothing to lose I guess.

      Thank you

      • John says:

        16 Mar16 March 15:03

        No it won’t work, unless you have a brand new BA account.

      • TGLoyalty says:

        17 Mar17 March 16:11

        Nope as it will post as being earned on the 6th April.
