Thanks. If I’m a named traveller on the first booking, I presume I wouldn’t be able to make the second booking using my personal Avios (as I wouldn’t be travelling on that booking). Is that correct?

Double Avios is going to put it out of my budget. Is that always the case or do they sometimes release extra at the standard rate?

I can’t work out the logic of the double avios seats.
On the routes that I’m looking at, newly released seats (almost a year away) seem to be set at double avios immediately. I am struggling to find any business class seats that are NOT double avios during English school holidays, and that has been the case since I started checking a few months ago.
I can’t prove it, but it *feels* as if double avios is the norm for English school holidays and for new seats.

It dose look like that.

I managed snap two tickets from MAN-MLE with standard points on the day my son’s school end. From then I couldn’t find a single ticket till Aug.
