I managed to get the 'job' of planning our honeymoon to keep me occupied whilst the OH planned the wedding. I put full focus on accruing miles and hotel points and we managed to get return to SYD in F using our 2-4-1 voucher.

I had to book two separate legs, both involved nervy phone calls to the Newcastle call centre at 7.30am on the day the availability opened up. We were lucky to get the seats and it was only due to the knowledge and information gleaned from these pages that I went for it.

I'm not travelling as much now due to new arrival but when I was piling on the miles I used and abused the Tesco links to generate as many points to convert and this all helps boost your tally. Don't forget if you look like you're falling short you can always buy miles for your Household Account.

Best of luck with it all and enjoy your honeymoon, you'll have earned the break!
