Am looking at Spring 2013 so I think the points & cash rates aren't loaded yet - is that right?
I stayed at the Conrad in HK a few years back, harbour view, club floor, and it was indeed very, very, very good. Booked in the new year sale so that's why I figure 50k points a night for a normal room is a bit duff (unless I can efficiently upgrade to the club floor)
Re the earlier point - yes, BA mainline routes ex LON to allow the 2-4-1 voucher to be used. Wouldn't necessarily rule out Europe
Thanks for the help!
