Well I’m usually good at this but it’s been a bit of a gruelling work week (gruelling that work has even been a thing, but that’s another story!). What’s the best value option here – I’m thinking the last 2 but I’m struggling with the numbers?!
10000 Avios + £ 28.00
8800 Avios + £ 43.00
6400 Avios + £ 53.00
4650 Avios + £ 63.00
2800 Avios + £ 73.00
1050 Avios + £ 88.00Cash price is £179 for comparable benefits. TIA.
I know it’s a bit like telling my granny how to sook eggs but for the cash element, just lose the decimal point. I.e £88 becomes 8800 Avios.
For me though as my acquisition cost is 0.65 I would X the Avios by that and add the 88 to that as a compatible against the cash price.Well I’m usually good at this but it’s been a bit of a gruelling work week (gruelling that work has even been a thing, but that’s another story!).

My sister in law is American – she contacted their Member of Congress and sorted it that way for us. The route of going through the UK Embassy is closed.
And is sis-in-law going on the visit with you, or was she able to apply just on your behalf?
(Thinking of doing a similar route at some point) – thanks!Hi, @Michael – I recall that when Trump was in the White House first time round, he banned UK nationals on security grounds!
Other than the US congress route, I think the Spanish embassy may be more accommodating if that would also be an option, though I don’t know if this would include non-Spanish companions as I never looked any further into it.

Sign up bonus and Estore etc. i.e. recently got 58K for business gold. Then boost those so averages out at 0.65
I think the Spanish embassy may be more accommodating if that would also be an option.
Great idea, thanks!

(Thinking of doing a similar route at some point) – thanks!No she is not coming with us. It was done on our behalf. I had to send in our passports and I’ve had various emails from the white house but it’s all confirmed for next week 🙂

Cheers, handy to know.
Have a goodie!@davefl – The majority of my flights included hold luggage, so it’s a no brainer to indulge,
My wife is actually staying home on the next trip, so it’s a double positive!TBH it looks like I’m going to have to take a backpack this time as opposed to lugging a case around Asia for 4 months!
Just on the lookout for one preferably with wheels, that will last the distance, as you move around a lot, and go off the beaten track on your trips, any recommendations?
@Gordon I”m not sure you’ll see this as I’m a day late reading the forums, but have look at the Osprey Sojourn 80L. Has both wheels and a back pack harness which is removable. if you search around and aren’t fussy on colour can usually find one in a sale somewhere.@davefl – The majority of my flights included hold luggage, so it’s a no brainer to indulge,
