Reply To: Finding companion voucher rather annoying

School nickname, have no idea why.

No genuinely struggled, over a few years but to be fair sometimes only 3 or 4 months notice and perhaps too choosy.

Fairly sure in the early days I did not have 2 years to use up, 18 months at best but can’t quite remember.

Flying off next week & did want to go to a Greek island & could not use but that really was short notice, I think 2 months & did not try extremely hard as know I will want a good flight next year and save it for that although should have spent 10 or most likely £15k by then.
Same for the canaries a few months but think limited BA flights & again short’ish notice, ended up EasyJet.

I am probably bit hung up as got card 5’ish years ago and tried everything to use, anywhere anytime and just could not, lots of comments at the time saying was near impossible as they released perhaps 2 or 3 seats per flight & you had to be the first. Is better know as have used a couple of times & think 4 or 5 months notice.
