Good deals, amazing deals, we cover great fares and rates for your travel
If you’ve been following this blog for a while you might remember my small dilemma of whether to defect from my familiar alliance Oneworld or not. My biggest grief came down to the lack of transatlantic Oneworld flights from Amsterdam, as all flights had to go via London or Helsinki.
A reminder that Lufthansa have got a live £20/€20 discount which needs to be used by 25th March 2014, but can be used for travel up to 28th December 2014. Unfortunately you cannot redeem the discount against taxes or fees, so where the base fare is less than the value of the voucher, only that much…
British Airways have loaded a very short sale for transatlantic and Middle Eastern flights for World Travaller and World Traveller Plus classes. You need book by 23:59hrs GMT on 25th March 2014. Travel can be anytime between now and 12th December 2014.
Sorry to be a little late on the game here, but I only just picked up details of this offer. Shell Drivers Club have circulated an email offering 20% discount on British Airways marketed and operated flights in economy class (World Traveller) and premium economy (World Traveller plus). The destinations on offer are: Nairobi Hong Kong Seoul…
Another 290 Avios are up for grabs from one of their Facebook initiatives, Avios Suitcase.
The latest round of discounted destinations for Flying Blue’s promo awards is out now, and the list is pretty long. Most of the advertised tickets are in economy class however.
About 2 minutes ago I just received an email from Tesco saying I’d won 500 Clubcard points for playing in their My Kitchen app a while ago. Speaking in my language that’s 1200 Avios! Check your emails for something similar, as it’s an easy one to miss.
American Airlines have announced a new route between Milan Malpensa (MXP) to Miami, Florida, starting 21st November 2013. In addition the promotion applies to the New York JFK route too. To entice people onto this route there’s a pretty good bonus campaign to kick it off
Lufthansa Miles and More are offering discounted deals starting today for intra-Europe routes or Europe-USA routes. As with most European programmes you’ll be stung by high taxes and fuel surcharges…
I wanted to re-post something I had written and first published in February 2013, before I first joined BoardingArea. My reason is that, while some savvy UK-based traveller will know about this already, perhaps those who rarely use British Airways may not be entirely aware of this technique. If you’ve read this before, feel free…
Hilton and Marriott are giving instant, free Silver status on both programmes.
There’s a new promotion from Tesco to get 5000 Clubcard points when you buy their life insurance. It’s changed compared to the last time if was offered and now there’s a more staggered earning structure.
Two months ago I posted a quicktip on how to avoid KLM’s booking fees on transatlantic flights by booking on Delta. Thanks to reader Ralph who commented in the post to provide the missing information I needed — how to extend this to all flights.
British Airways have launched a competition for you to win flights for you and up to nine friends on their newest London City to Granada route. Note this is not Grenada in the Carribeans! Here is the link to the competition on Facebook.
