If you need any help with this starting option, just ask on this thread or PM me. It would be useful to know which frequent flyer programme you have joined and where you live/want to start from.

Thanks Spotwelder, my FFP is CX. I live in London so LHR was my first optin but thanks to cheap budget airlines I can get anywhere in Europe for peanuts. Any suggestions for cheap starting point? Thanks.
