I had hoped to booked our first First Class flights but there are no flights with two redemptions available. So should I keep waiting for availability to open up, book CW and make do given the new service improvements or book the LCY service? We'll be connecting from the regions, LBA if the crappy new schedule works or MAN otherwise.
Are you flexible with dates? If So, I recommend looking at mid-week flights. I took a quick look and a March 20 departure and March 27 return has a few first with 2 or more redemptions available. Alternatively, you can book first outward and CW inward or vice versa. In any case, I would highly recommend first over CW.
