Sorry if I didn’t make myself clear. the 2 4 1 will also involve the wife. But pricing up on me .

It is as easy for us to get to Dublin as it is LHR

[SteveR]

Dub – LHR is shown as Aer Lingus then BA across the pond. The DUb LHR on its own is £20,00 ok doesn’t include suitcase

It allowed me to use my 2 4 1 voucher in the dummy booking (Hadn’t realised at first & thought that’s not a bad price)

[SteveR]

Yes sitting in my BAEC a/c

[SteveR]

Anyone know an easy way of finding Aer Lingus Avios flights business class

[SteveR]

Will the companion voucher still be valid for two years, confused by the small print

[SteveR]

Looks like loads of UC availabilty to Mexico City next July with Virgin

[SteveR]

This is what I was looking into a few days ago.

Note of caution Read the small print. The companion voucher will only be valid for one year Yes /No

If you have already reached the £10,000 spend threshold, you may receive a Companion Voucher that is valid for 12 months, rather than 24 months. If you would like to extend the validity of the Companion Voucher to 24 months, please contact British Airways customer service directly and they will look into extending the validity of the Companion Voucher for you.

Phoned up to downgrade & was told you have to apply online for a new card & the system will pick up you have an existing card!!

Seems very bizarre

[SteveR]

Took the BAPP card out in May, triggered the 60K bonus & 2 4 1, which are both in my Ba A/C. Currently have 5.5k sitting, waiting to be transferred.

Should I wait until the 5.5k are in my Avios a/c before contacting them to ask to move down to the free Amex card and see what they offer

Another 10k in Avios for £5k spend is worth keeping the card for

[SteveR]

What I did notice is that it is only the points in the current period that are automatically converted. So if you have a load of vouchers sitting there they are not converted

[SteveR]

Virgin confirmed by email latest 29th August

[SteveR]

Yep that is what we did before, that is why an absolute gimme.

To make it even better we used the free hotel shuttle bus, with overnight bag, saving $20 plus on parking

[SteveR]

Thanks

[SteveR]

Needs to be a cash booking, then upgrade the LHR to where ever legs(s)

[SteveR]

Did a dummy booking DUB – LHR – MCO and JFK 28 jun 24 – 15/7

Wanted to see what the savings would be for starting from Dublin, as in planing stage for 11 months time

Looking at my notes Taxes Fees etc economy 338 euros UC 541 euros

Of the 541, 400 were carrier imposed

[SteveR]

The route was Dub – LHR with EI – MCO / JFK VA

Had previously checked about 6 weeks ago re the upgrade Rang the call centre who were fine doing the LHR – MCO / JFK for 70,000 points & roughly £200 – The cash price for the economy ticket from Dub was about the same as from LHR

The pain was you had to fly back to Dublin, you couldn’t fly back into Manchester

[SteveR]

Is this targeted? Ignore seen on T’s website

[SteveR]

Thanks for everyone’s input

[SteveR]

Tricks for mixing & matching either straight through with couple of hours stopover or a layover of a few days.

Not bothered if we fly East or West

To get the best use of the 2 4 1 voucher

[SteveR]

Sorry should have made clear Jan 2026, could do Dec 2025. Sydney not cast in stone either Brisbane open jaw

Fully expecting the 0100 hours 355 days out.

Did that for RFS to Turkey during Summer Holidays

[SteveR]

Meant to add 60k for £3k spend in three months

[SteveR]

I have received the email from BA

60,000 Avios. Exclusively yours.

You must apply using the link in this email before 11 June 2024. If you apply through other channels you may receive a lower offer.

Very tempted to apply as I know I have a couple of bills to pay that will exceed to £3K requirement.

My question is if I have a lower limit, can I pay one bill, immediately pay that off then pay the other one, would that work for the bonus assuming can be done

[SteveR]

CAsh booking Dub to LHR is with Aer Lingus

[SteveR]

Yes tried the multiple airports – didn’t like it

[SteveR]

Might be worth looking Ex Dublin Fess are considerably less
