Airmiles - worth another look?
I got a letter from Airmiles yesterday telling me how I could exchange my Tesco vouchers for Airmiles. What interested me was the fact that I've got 623 Airmiles - no idea how I got them.
I assumed 623 would get me a one way train ticket from Manchester to Liverpool or something, but I had a look on their website anyway.
I fancied a weekend away, so I put in MAN-FRA for next weekend. Came back as 300 Airmiles + £55. The other option was 100 Airmiles + £67. These flights are with BA Connect, and afternoon/early evening flights.
Had a quick look on the BA site, and the cheapest fare was about £340. Lufthansa was £180. Neither of these were ideal timings either. To get an early evening flight pushed prices up further.
So I snapped up the BA flight for £67.
So, it may be worth dusting off your account (I had to phone them up to reset my password) and start looking for some bargains.
Cheers,
Rick
