I had a booking for 2 x CE seats on an expiring Barclaycard upgrade voucher from Heathrow to Venice in June, but had only booked it as no reward flights were available to Ljubljana (we were staying 4 nights in Bled then 2 in Ljubljana). As an alternative I’d reluctantly planned one night in Venice then the train onward to Slovenia (and already had reward flights booked back from Ljubljana 6 days later). I had Seatspy alerts and was checking daily to see if any outbound Heathrow to Ljubljana CE seats opened up in the weeks approaching departure. Sure enough, 1.5 days before departure they did! I instantly cancelled the Barclaycard Venice booking for 50p each and rebooked for Ljubljana, happy days.
