    I’m due to fly to MAD next Sat and BLQ on 17 – I doubt either will happen. National governments are panicking, time will tell whether it’s justified.

    Not just Brits being cracked down on – Portugal also to start patrolling its land borders to ensure travellers are complying with entry regulations.

  Sainsburys M/C: 10000 bonus paid out using Sains gift cards / xmas saver cards to make up the 400 spend. This was always within the T+C’s (only egiftcards excluded) and confirms giftcards count, even when not 3rd party.

  Flights to Hong Kong suspended by Ba

    There may be other reasons for that such as excessive quarentine periods for crew which then causes other crew not to want to do those flights.

      Yes was a crew member who tested positive and put in quarantine centre .

        Sounds like they need to overman flights flying in to HKG to try to lessen the risk of not having a crew to fly out if someone tests positive?

  Does anyone know any travel insurance which will cover points? IHG Points etc?

  Virgin status match seems to be open again https://flywith.virginatlantic.com/gb/en/flying-club/members/status-match.html

  • Andrew says:

    That’s the standard one that’s always been around. The special BA status match earlier in the year was significantly easier to match Gold particularly.

    Sainsburys bank offer a Nectar mastercard with a signup bonus when you spend £400 in Sainsbury’s/Argos/Etc in the first 2 months (was 10k, currently 8k). Just confirming that you can make up this spend in gift card purchases, inc. Sainsburys own gift cards.

    200 for a sausage roll or a muffin.
