Sorry, one more question here - our tier point year ends 8 June. If we fly on that date, do the points accrue to this year or next? The idea is to get this flight into the next tier year to ensure silver for an extra year. Unfortunately we aren't going to be close enough to gold to make the inbound count to this year.
We may miss out on the lowest sub-£1K price, but a few extra days ahead of the 11th would be helpful.
Thanks again for all the help and comments everyone!
