Bet the computers/calculators at HFP towers are red hot and possibly the only good news is Rob has articles for the next month!

here’s a route I’m looking at LHR -SFO in Upper for recently released seats (ie Sep 2025)

Old £1k + 155k points or voucher +65k
now
saver fare £1k + 417.5k points or voucher + 352.5k
cash fare is now £2784
so thats 417.5k points to save £1.7k ! and thats on a SAVER fare and for a voucher holder my points are now worth one seventh of their value yesterday
