Reply To: What to do with 500k Avios?

There are a bunch of popular European routes that you don’t need to stay up until midnight to book well timed flights for school holidays but tend to disappear within a few days of availability opening up.

The key is to look at your term dates and just get in the habit of booking somewhere you fancy going. As things stand, the cost of cancelling is £1 per person. This might change but even if it does, £35 per person isn’t life changing.

Avios are wonderful for this as you can end up with great flights for less than you’d pay on a LCC that can be cancelled up to 24 hours before you fly.

I value this quite highly.
