Many thanks.. I recall checking the mileage calculator, and it telling me that I needed 25,000 miles for most routes in Europe, including domestic UK ones. I wonder if I could make MAN-FRA for 15,000, as I am now based in Germany and that could be useful.

It's a shame BA are so determined not to award points like other airlines do. It would seem that nothing will deter them from pursuing high-yield passengers only. I wonder what will happen to LX's Travelclub programme when that is almalgamated with BAEC this year.
