CW/CW or WT+/F?
Hi everyone,
I need to book a ticket for next week, from BLR to LBA (via LHR). On the plus side, this will unexpectedly push me over the edge into gold, on the negative side, it's for a funeral (hence the short notice).
I need 240TP to get gold, so I figured I could travel CW in both directions (280TP) or spoil myself and fly F on the way home, compensating by flying WT+ on the way there (or even WT... But it's a long flight...). The F/Wt+ combo is slightly cheaper but routes via MAA, I imagine because WT+ is either full or not available on the direct flight.
What are your thoughts on these options? I am aware that there's the possibility of getting op-up'd but since that has never happened to me before I'm not counting my chickens...
James
