Indeed. I booked an Economy flight to an EU destination for Christmas that was priced at over £1000 per person return. Good deals can be found!

Correct, EU destinations for Christmas regularly hit £600 return and often £1000. RFS for 15k avios + £35 including suitcase works well for me, just needs to be booked well in advance.
