Redeeming with DC was so much easier
It's at times like this that I appreciate the relative simplicity of redeeming miles with the DC.
OK there may have been some frustrations but now that I have spent two months trying to get both (1) availablity and a (2) decent price deal with my Avios I realise that it's nigh impossible.
It looks like the fuel surcharge is the biggie, costwise. In so many cases paying for a Business class seat with *A is only slightly more than using loads-a-miles and the taxes and fees with ba.
I know that the issues should be ranted in the Exec Club forum but I thought it may as well also be my last post in here!
