  I’m guessing as it refers to WT, WT+, CW and F that it’s LH only and no discount on SH routes?

  “Interesting…”

  Or probably not so much in most cases given the real attraction is WT and WTP. The devil is in the tax and fees as always; just priced up 2xWTP INV-TYO-EDI coming in at just under £980 + 78k avios. With a notional average value of 1ppa for most folks the real cost of those flights is therefore about €1760. Comoparing that against cheaper miles- and status-earning cash flights on the likes if LH, AF (much better PE) or even BA themselves from a more convenient airpirt then it is not looking so good despite the 50 % avios reduction, and this on a route that’s not amongst the cheapest. However, what’s £35 flexibility worth (assuming these are flexible like normal redemptions)?

    Seen loads of Tokyo recently for £500 or less (albeit wasnt looking from Scotland but EDI was there) cash. And BA wants to take your Avios off you as well, for that pretty much same amount of cash, as a cash fare? Curious.

  Although it is new bookings only, it might be worth cancelling and rebooking some long haul redemptions in F or J, and it certainly would in PE.

    Yes, if seats are available. Otherwise, it is a risk that the seats don’t go back into the inventory. I would love 10% Avios back for F redemptions that I have booked for Christmas and Easter, but do not want to risk it.

  OT – e-rewards and Avios.

  “Thank you for your e-mail..

  While we are tweaking a few things to optimize the brand-new website, some reward options may not be available for redemption straight away.

  Don’t worry, this is just temporary. Do keep an eye on your account rewards section, as all your favourite reward partners will gradually be made available again.

  Thank you for your patience and understanding.”

  Reward seat flights are loaded! I haven’t looked at all the destinations, but a few of them are.
