Go onto the BA website. Choose reward flights and you will be shown the other airline options to your destination as well as the BA ones.

Your not wrong but the beauty of the BA loyalty program is you don't have to fly BA! There are some great one world airlines. It is a shame BA isn't one of them.

That's a terrific fare to NZ. A great example of departing from a non UK location.

I had heard the Virgin companion voucher can have limited value in all but the most optimum of circumstances. The BA and Virgin ones are very different. On Virgin you are expected to buy a cash fare in Upper. The companion then just pays the taxes and fees. On BA you effectly pay half the Avios...

The tesco credit card on spend not at Tesco earns 1 point for every £4 spend. A £1000 spend would earn 250 points which would buy 625 (when not on a promo) Virgin Miles. As Bozza just said, with the Black Amex card you get £1/1 point so the same spend would have netted 1000 points. It's a good...

BA were the first airline to have fully flat seats in business class many years ago. They truly were then king of the skies and the world favourite airline slogan was accepted. But they have stood still whilst others, especailly the middle eastern airlines have stormed ahead. The big moan is...

Get Clubcard. For petrol you will earn 1 clubcard point for every £2 spent on fuel. Every 250 clubcard points will buy you 600 BA Miles or a few more Virgin ones. If you spend £1000 a month on fuel that equates to 1200 Avios a month, Pay for them with an American Express card and you will have...

Not right now, but look out for sales from both AMS and DUB. As a rule of thumb I find DUB better going West and AMS going EAST. But even without a sale I just picked a random date. 23rd November from Dublin to LA it's £1671 on BA. From LHR is £3300! The crazy thing is is that the routing will...

I can honestly say I've never experience such things in an airline lounge. And actually, the Virgin Clubhouse at Heathrow is delightful. Usually there is a mix of business people just going around their pre flight routine or people heading on holiday making the most of what for some is a very...

I absolutely love flying and have no issue with changing planes. In some circumstances I actually like to break up a long haul journey. I totally get this is not everyones cup of tea. Even if I didn't enjoy it I would do it if it meant getting to silver or gold. That one extra flight and maybe...

£17.50 is the one way tax for something they call reward flight saver. For domestic or Euro flights. I forgot who we were playing but a couple of years ago we flew to Mancheter. Got sozzled in the first lounge. Just paid £17.50 each way plus 4500 miles. On the way back we was delayed over 2...

I proper get into it. I'm a self certified air miles whore which means I can often travel in the front on the plane and the use First Class lounges with minimal expense. There is nothing like spending £17.50 on tax and spending airmiles earned just on a monthly shop at Tesco and a few quid...
