One of the main reasons I am doing a TP run to achieve GGL/CCR this membership year. I have a stack of Avios and a number of vouchers and the ability to open up revenue fares to use them makes it worthwhile for me. Appreciate this isn't an option for a lot of people though.

I'm really struggling to use my 2-4-1, as find I get best value redeeming for RFS hops at peak times, low tax O/W redemptions or "part pay with avios" when it gets close to 1p/point.
