ABZ is just too far - I live right next to INV

Might price up a few E+ tix to get me the 20 pts quicker, but if not I can live without for the first few trips until it comes through.

I have the same dilemma, I have Priority Pass but they have nothing at MAN T3, so I'm considering if 20 Rewards4all points is better spent on lounge access or a flight.
If you DO redeem for lounge access you dont get to take in a companion.
Bad news about MAN and PP, lookslike I will be out in the general area there then. I'll try and time it to have the minimum gap at the airport in that case.

And of course they're all over the news this week after their little stunt at NWI...
Flymaybe, but at £120 vs. £298 for Eastern, I'll give them a shot. I'm also travelling the night before and back on a Friday evening so it might intrude into my own time but shouldn't cause me any work problems.
Thanks to all for your insights, looks like a 3 mobile broadband card and a quiet corner of T3 is the answer for me then.... And after the first 10 returns, I'll buy myself lounge access for 20 pts.
