As I am leaving on boxing day, ex-DUB is difficult as I can't fly the night before and I believe back to backs are more tricky these days.

So the easiest will be PE from London on BA, but I'm rather tempted by the £800 fare LAX on NZ PE (which would be around £950 with connecting flights but still save around £400).

Tricky one. I've only flown J on NZ and it was very good but not PE - and BA to LAS are generally older planes.

Any thoughts?
No Avios/ Credit card points?

Id be tempted by the NZ option, just to try the product and avoid old WT+ on BA, esp at 1350.

I’d prob take BA Y over WT+ if it’s 1350, it’s simply not worth it
