  Can you get this bonus if you book through BA holidays as flight and car?

  • Rob says:

    11 Apr11 April 08:07

    Probably not because Avis will treat it as a third party booking.

  The rates that Avis charge for car hire are just insane. No amount of bonus Avios would persuade me to hire from that at this level.

    Welcome to the real world buddy, where you been the last two years?

    • Andy in Cheshire says:

      Nowhere…

      Strange that Enterprise still seem to be able to offer cars at about half the price of Avis.

    Depends where you’re booking. In the USA Avis are hundreds of dollars cheaper than Hertz/Alamo/Enterprise etc on the trips I’m doing

  Rob mentioned above this will be treated as a third party booking – so safe to assume they wont treat me as President’s Club member? Any insights appreciated!

  • Rob says:

    That’s not what I said. A BA Holidays booking is likely to be third party but booking via the BA/Avis website is totally fine. If you want to be sure, book on avis.com and use the BA AWD codes.

  My biggest gripe in 2018 was the Emirates group itself. There were probably 16 of us, of whom two were Emirates hosts and 12 were travel agents on a jolly, invited for free by the airline. My wife and I were sidelined during the lunch, which was on one large table.

  So clearly Emirates couldn’t find enough people to sell the VIP packages to and invited some travel partners to it. Its no different in theory to HfP being invited on a press trip where fare paying passengers are oresent. Your sense of entitlement is overwhelming. Get over yourself.

    I wouldn’t quite have put it in those terms but yes it’s strange to complain about being sidelined when it’s likely other people get sidelined when blog writers and influencers get invited to things and then have to suffer poorer service as a consequence.

  • Rob says:

    Nonsense.

    How would you feel if I sold you a £100 upgrade to a VIP HfP party ticket to include ‘drinks with the team’, and when you arrived you found it was just you plus the crew working at the party, and we spent the entire time ignoring you and talking about how little Stevie is doing at school?

    It bears no relation to a press trip, which in any event is work. If you don’t think they are work, you are wrong – why else do I refuse to go on them?
