For western Europe it will be primarily *A flights where possible to keep that new status.

For intra-UK I'm going to FlyBe who operate to BHD and EDI out of LCY which is my local airport and these are my main destinations.

I booked a flight on U2 for my partner last night to go to NAP and I will start flying Orange as well if the price is right.

I will use my avios on some BA flights next year to get some use of the lounge as I have enough with BA to get silver for another year.

I'm not saying I'll never fly BA but I have accepted that I won't get enough flights next year to get silver and bronze and blue are on the way.
