Hello – I was looking for some simple advice, I have silver status, a companion voucher and ~150,000 avios. Could someone bullet point the best way to try and secure a flight for a family of 4 to Japan, next Easter. There seems to be so many factors, it’s confuses the hell out of me. I understand calling the US line or Japanese line gives you a sporting chance for booking, but is that all really necessary. It all seems like a monster ball ache to trying and use these damn things. Any advice gratefully received.

There are lots of articles and threads on this site with this information. Look at Rob’s articles about using the 241, plus the long but invaluable “booking the return at T-355” thread in the BAEC section. To get the best result you need to be prepared to invest a fair bit of time and effort on research.
