    Jet2 fly LBA-ZTH, sometimes cash for a convenient flight is worth it.

    It’s a seasonal route, last flight is 25 Oct.


    @strickers
    . Think we’re at cross purposes with someone trying for SKG in October. @Richie trying to advise on ZTH for May which has slipped through the net this year. Thanks anyway. Still hoping it’s a BA glitch after all who (all 12 of them) wants to go to ZTH and not come back? It’s miserable in winter. 😂

    @Richie
    Yes thanks and that would be the preferred route but the dates don’t suit, sadly. Important work/school commitments prior. I assume you can book the inbound with a companion voucher and Avios, then link if the outbound comes out of hiding?
    Meanwhile he can explore the options as they have to travel.

    Which date can they leave the UK?

    Not at all. I just think BA has a glitch.

    . Thanks for your help. The Yorkshire folk have decided to sit on it for a while in the hope of a magic wand in a few weeks or so. Children! They ask for your help then put everything on the back burner. I’m off for a small gin! Thanks again and we can leave the problem children to their own devices. Didn’t happen when I made the bookings! 😇

    I’ve downgraded my BAPP because BA have very little availability to Asia unless you can book at midnight a year in advance. If there was any scope to use the CV on Finnair, I would happily upgrade again. Commercially, I wonder if it would feasible for BA to extend the use of the voucher to codeshare flights on Joint Venture routes? Or for Amex to rebrand the card as a OneWorld card?

    I wonder if it might be feasible for Barclaycard to do so, seeing as their card is technically an Avios card, not a BA card?
