I am thinking of trying to get gold mainly for the gold priority rewards, but what is the blocked seat in Y all about?
i was thinking of a TP run to the far east but the BA deals to the US, and upgrading with avios, to then try and do a sub £1 per TP point, whilst in the US, might be worthwhile. My earning year ends 8th November so probably worth doing mid November to get almost 2 years of gold.
