Vienna for a week with DH from 20th. Dinner booked for 24th and a side trip to Bratislava is planned. All we need is a little snow for the big day. Booked with BA holidays and discounted with the BA Amex cash back deal. Thanks for the heads up from you guys here on flyertalk!

BA are bringing me home from Naples in the New Year (exit row, more room for my frame than CE).
Easyjet are taking us to Sicily (on Boxing day), Ryannair for Sicily to Rome, and the train from Rome to Naples.

On Saturday will be flying JNB - LHR - SFO on a big avios splurge. Upperdeck 747 for the SFO leg.
Then SEA - LHR - JNB, to be home in time for New Year's Eve. Used a GUF on the SEA leg, so will be trying out F on the 777.
Anyone else on these?

LHR-GVA on Boxing Day in CE as a family of 4 to spend New Year with 14 other friends in a beautiful ski resort! Not looking forward to GVA on 2nd Jan though as it can get incredibly busy then

This year, BA are taking me away (sans coat) to Helsinki. I then hope to overnight in the airport Hilton which I hope is accessible via a heated corridor and then I will be transferring to Qatar Airways who are taking me to Bangkok. BA CW was nearly 3 times as much, so QR it was then.

Oh dear. A coat is not really an option. I wonder how many t-shirts I can put on at once? I also have a wetsuit which would provide some insulation, but might look a bit odd in Helsinki in December.
