The best deals to the US from India, Kuwait and several Middle East countries! Lots of airlines are battling for passengers on these routes, resulting in competitive prices.
From Singapore and Indonesia to New York, San Francisco and more in Premium Economy for a great fare with Cathay Pacific.
Updated for 2020 to include Royal Air Maroc. This post lists every Oneworld airline route that marginally crosses 2000 miles.
British Airways made an announcement yesterday that they will devalue their Partner Award Chart. Initial rumours of pricing structure has already leaked through.
Cathay Pacific are asking for $600HKD for entry to selected lounges around the world during a short trial period. I have been to a few of them before and some offer better value than others.
There’s a great fare for Europe – Hong Kong in Cathay Pacific’s Premium Economy class. This would generate 220 Tier Points or 2671 EQD if collecting via British Airways or American Airlines respectively.
British Airways and Cathay Pacific have agreed to block Avios redemptions at least 5 days prior to departure, with some reports being as far as 22 days. We investigated this for ourselves
So having lived off a debit card in the Netherlands (shock horror!!) I’ve finally managed to get an American Express Gold charge card. You get 8000 Membership Rewards points upon sign-up without spending a single penny. (Yes this is far less than other countries, but at least it’s completely free)

Good morning from Cathay Pacific’s The Wing lounge at Hong Kong! What a lovely day to be munching some of The Noodle Bar’s won ton soup whilst enjoying my favourite blog…
I’ve had an enormous surge of visitors over the past week, (if you’re new then a big hello to you!) so those who are new may not know about my plea for help on my route home. Well I’m happy to say it’s finally been booked and now subject to American Airlines’ standard practice of…
