Baltic Air has just informed me that you will earn 5 points for every Latvian Lat spent in the Aerodium located 47 kilometres east of Riga just off the A2 highway, near Sigulda.

Just when you think you have done every conceivable activity to get miles and points someone comes along and offers you an opportunity to rack up more by getting blown away by a giant fan. What next - points for flying as a human cannon ball?
