Hysterical [Reward Flight Finder promoting Moscow flights in error]
Reward Flight Finder has sent out an email campaign saying the place we should all fly on BA is Moscow, it's just 18,500 Avios plus Ł1. I think we all now know what happened to the marketing intern who got sacked from BA. They subsequently sent another email saying "Oops" we shouldn't have sent an email promoting flights to Moscow we're not sure what happened. I guess nobody realised there is a war going on and flights were suspended over a year ago.

Well they make their money telling people what Avios seats are available on BA. So they have everything to do with BA Executive Club.

We again apologise for the fault in the email. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.

It's a Monty Python reference:

There's a llama in there too.

I'm saving up my Avios for a trip to Kabul, I think they're going to be promoting that one next.

There may also be a Llama or two at the Pyongyang Zoo.

It makes a change from the BAEC website telling someone with 5 million Avios in their account that they now have enough Avios for an Economy flight to Munich.
