Honeymoon - BA points advice and tips
Hi all,
First post here and hopefully you can help. We're planning on booking our honeymoon soon for Sept 2015 in the Pacific/South East Asia area. I have 120,000 BA points I would like to use to upgrade from World Traveller Plus to Business.
Now if my calculations are correct (using Singapore as a destination, and London as the departure point), I will need 35,000 points each to upgrade the out/in flights? Totalling 70,000 points to fly business for the both of us, both outbound and inbound?
At the moment I have a personal BA account, I presume I will have to convert this to a household account to share my points with my 'soon to be!' wife?
I've read and heard there are restrictions on what flights are eligible to upgrade with points? How can I be sure that the flights I book can be upgraded with my points? Can you do it all online at the time of booking? Or is it best to phone and book with a BA advisor?
Lastly, is there a particularly good time to book to get a better price? Sale periods?
Thanks in advance!
