You have to pay quite a lot of money to earn 600 miles from MAN-LHR these days.
Well balls to that then. I'll start flying back with BA on MAN-LHR-MAN in future. At least I get a sandwich!
I buy the second pricing in from the left when purchasing a ticket online. i.e. Standard fare - I always thought that it was 600 miles minimum for domestic, other than on tiny fare.
The problem is, there are 3 tiers of standard economy - discounted/economy/mid. How does one know which tier they has purchased when making a booking.
