when I started doing much more traveling about a year ago, i was determined to reach silver status. Having lounge access appeared to be a great goal especially as i am at Heathrow at least 20 times a year. Then i noticed that even gold would be reachable, and i will gain the status in 7 weeks.

Allthough our company appeared to have a strikt travel policy they allow me to fly WT+ on longer flights and i fly CE in Europe as the price difference usually is not that high and in some cases even cheaper.

So besides reaching the various tiers, i also build up a lot of Avios. At first i thought about using these to upgrade longhaul flights, but finding availability is not the easiest part and i have absolutely no problems flying WT+.

So i was looking and searching for a goal to use the Avios.
while searching on FT to find a goal, i found one that would be a great way of spending Avios and put a new stamp on my bucket list.

i found that i can use 390.000 avios and 489€ to get a flight from Heatrow to Doha in first for two persons and then a connecting flight from Doha to Male in first. All flights on Qatar

For less then 250€ each i can fly in first, enjoying the excellent product of Qatar to Male. Enjoying champagne, great food and a two person bed in the plane.
Finding a cool Maladive resort to spend my 15th aniversery would not be to hard. Just need to figure out transport between Male airport and the resort, but i dont think that would be a to big issue.

what are your Avios goals?

i will change it as i actually ment Qatar. Thanks for pointing this out to me.

The tickets are 185.000 avios and 245€ and are Qsuites J as far as i could see.
still need about 250.000 avios to reach the necessary avios.

Summer school holiday 2019 peak redemption opportunities will start appearing soon, they'd be worth booking if you have to holiday at that period.
