  Alan,
  Thank you!

  For those heading far east, a few days ago I found many good return business fares ex AMS for around £1250 with QR or AY. Also similar fares on Turkish for those interested in *A.

  Newb to actually using Avios (been collecting them for awhile though, about to get a 2-4-1.

  For the Dublin to MIA, can this be booked using a 2-4-1 and Avios? I went through the process on ba.com (logged in via BAEC) and it says I can’t pay with Avios?

  Thanks

    Scratch that, comment above says BA metal for the 2-4-1, these are BA codes operated by American, so I asumme no 2-4-1 use. What about Avios?

      If there’s availability then you can book with Avios, but the point of these sales is how good value (esp ex-DUB) these premium cabin fares are. Given you’d still be paying a lot in taxes and fees for a straight redemption you’d be getting much poorer value out your Avios. These sort of sale fares are ideal for earning tier points and Avios at a good price 🙂

  There’s a thread started yesterday on the BA forum on Flyer Talk about short checking luggage very interesting read..

  Anyone got any good TP runs using this sale?

  • Think Square says:

    How many do you need? The usual runs to Hawall are available, giving 1060TPs for £1150-ish. More if you can tolerate US F class, or go via LCY.

  Following up on Robs tip on ARN with QR, I checked it out. Also found Turkish offering BKK return J for just under £1k and Finnair is about £100 more. Other Asian destinations also well priced, most being <£1400 return. This included high season. Flights from regions on SAS to both ARN and HEL are very attractively priced and include a checked bag.

  Just slightly off topic: As most of us mere mortals that need Avios to fly Business or First are really feeling the hurt from the planned April Avios devaluation.

  I have just cancelled my BA Premier Plus Avios AMEX as more of an “up yours” rather than anything else and to get 6 months pro-rota return on my fee. Now their has been debate on cancelling this card and what happens to a used 2-4-1 voucher once this card is no more, I have used my 2-4-1 for a trip to the US this summer after the mass carnage rush for flights when the devaluation was announced.
  I didn’t use my BA AMEX for paying the £1500 fee etc, but my Lloyd’s Premier, so no need to keep the BA card to show as evidence of payment and now I have paid the taxes and surcharges for that flight it is safe and they cannot take it away from me, I got this confirmed by AMEX whilst cancelling this card and it seems quite a few people are kicking this card in to touch. The Lloyd’s card now works for me (I can’t believe I am saying that!), no foreign exchange fees are very good indeed when adding up all those add on costs and I have just got the upgrade voucher. If this card was any use to me in relation to the fee/benefits I would have kept it.

  SPG AMEX now, I want to stay at the Palace Madrid.

  I can’t see how the ex Dublin prices are as quoted in the article. I have searched between the 28 March and 12 April for return business class flights and can’t get near the prices listed in the article

  Can anyone help me, am I doing something wrong?

  Thank you

    use ita matrix

    • Mike says:

      ita matrix actually isn’t doing so well today. I’ve got F flights showing up in amex travel which are 2000 euros cheaper than on ita matrix!

        Yes its not live . It works based on previous searches. A bit like how sky scanner changes price when you actually click on a specific deal
