So, having never flown first before I was looking at DME as I have a day free in London now en-route from JER-IST early February.

My question is it possible to fly the roundtrip on the same aircraft without a visa etc. Google tells me no visa is needed but I figured if anyone had first hand experience of such a thing then here would be the place to find them.

It works out at roughly 9K OB points plus £88 outbound, 30K Avios and £25 back which if it does work seems to me good value and something different rather than kicking my heels in London

Thanks

I've no personal experience of this, but anecdote suggests that you won't get on the plane without a Visa.
