Then at a "quiet" moment in the day call BAEC and cancel for free in the 24hr window, and see if they reappear available to grab through avios.com.
Hmmm, if there is definitely no cost at all to cancel, I could try that tonight. Problem is I don't know if I'll have enough miles for the two transactions.
Does anyone know if 6 - 10 January is Peak or Off Peak?
Also, is it possible to cancel the inbound of a reward ticket with Avios.com and get back the miles? I know I will have to pay the change fee of £35 per person if its possible.
