@NorthernLass what is the Dublin dodge?
I presume a way of avoiding the extortionate fees that BA charge at Heathrow.
In theory, how do you benefit from this method? I am fairly new to all this.
Air fares are based on different markets and fee/tax regimes.
DUB-XXX-MEX is different to MAN-XXX-MEX.
If you are as smart as Anna is, you can easily take advantage of this and wisely using your points redeeming also helps.
Positioning separately from MAN to DUB has realised opportunities.
Stick with HfP and points collecting!
