 Poster: A snowHead
|
I had not used my Avios account for a number of years since it only offered British Airways fligts and BA changed to being "London Airways". The hassle of going to London was not worth the savings. Now I see that Flybe and Monarch have joined and as we all know they represent more of the UK and fly to many ski destination airports. Only 4,500 airmile to Chambery in March looks a good deal, but they only seem to fly on Saturdays.
I knew keeping the airmiles account going was a good idea.

Damianowen7,
Log in as normal www.avios.com then type the name of your source, destination and date and see what comes up
I just entered Birmingham - Chambery for 7/3/14 and return the following Staurday and it came up with 4,500 each way on Flybe. But none turned up for Birmingham to Lyon, which is a much more popular route. As always with avios, you may be lucky or you may not. And there isn't really a way of checking availability without going all the way.

So b****y annoying that you can't use Avios points at half term or Easter...

That assumes Flybe fly the route you want - they are so useless they have dropped their Exeter Salzburg flight this winter (probably because no-one used it as it was so overpriced last year).

Got really excited, thinking I could get 2 x returns from Soton to GVA for 18000 points.. Only to find I had the week before half term put in...

Useless that they dropped a flight that nobody went on? Who'd have thought an airline would do something so stupid?

Note that Reward Flight Saver (RFS) doesn't apply to flybe avios bookings. When booking BA flights using Avios, your taxes for short haul are limited to £35 for a return (£50 for a business flight). When booking flybe, you still pay the full taxes and surcharges for the flight. On some flights, Flybe do a "£x + taxes" promotion, where the headline figure is relatively low. For these flights, booking using Avios rewards would be very poor value.
