Well, that would have been a really useful code if I'd heard of it, and is out of date now. So thanks. Not.

Yeah, my initially google (at 11.45pm last night before the deal ended) wasnt really good enough... sadly you are correct, the risk of being denied boarding at LHR is too high.... thanks for bringing this to my attention, saved my bacon!... I guess gold was not meant to be... another year of silverness awaits..

Both Glasgow have Uber there, and lots to do and see with 24hrs, I have found Club fares to Glasgow, slightly cheaper than EDI, but EDI the best pick as location(, also has tram direct into city. I think DUB is quite away from the centre. Not sure about Belfast. Also bear in mind BA Lounge in EDI and Glasgow is now open (for now!)

Sorry, seemed to miss this completely. Too reliant on the TP run, or Premium Deals or the Sales to mention this one, and that sort of thing falls through the cracks.

I suppose I've booked my TP run. Someone else I know might have found it useful though.

It was in the top five threads here since Friday, and quite well titled so couldn't really miss it !

Has anyone built a tier point run based on UK Amber / green list destinations and countries which are letting UK citizens in? Appreciate the rules are fluid but I assume avid TP-runners are still finding ways to fly?

No need to be rude, especially as the oversight was yours.

I imagine a fair few are bouncing around domestically, however I’m not rushing into anything as I very sure status extensions will continue

I have actually apologised for that, but go on and pile on in.

No, I apologised for the reply, and gave a reason for it.

I did not realise I had to get it past the apology king.

For what it's worth, they also emailed about it. It is still worth getting the spam from time to time.
