Ah, the curse/joy of Flyertalk! I have no idea how much this Forum has cost us over the years since we joined in 2010, but I do know very well that it has taken us to places, and given us experiences, that we would never have considered in our wildest dreams! Oh, and not forgetting achieving BAEC Gold, in 2015, and retaining it!
2015 - our first [of 3] trips to Hawaii *
2015 - our first [but so far only] First on a 2-4-1 to St Lucia
2016 - our first [of 4] trips to South Africa *
* These trips achieved following some friendly 'nagging' on BAFT.
I therefore fully endorse
