  Looking for a good Tax Advisor to guide through a business exit. Someone I can speak to directly and who will prepare all paperwork at short notice (ideally solicitor/barrister as they produce great paperwork)

  Any recommends or self recommendations?

    Simon Dakin @ Actons in Nottingham. Explained and handled the sale of my previous company very well with reams of papers generated

    I will do it for 30k Avios and a handful of bonvoys! Don’t let the fact that I know nothing about tax put you off 👍🏼

  Virgin boost if taking FTV says they add £400 for a upper class ticket (if due to virgin cancellation)
  Does this apply to points bookings aswell or only if booked with cash?
  I can see the FTV applies to points tickets but wondering if the boost also does.

  is avios to nectar unavailable ? or this is because I have points pending that haven’t posted in nectar from November?

  • Secret Squirrel says:

    Was still unavailable when I tried a few days ago.

  It’s getting near crunch time, what are the chances of Mauritius turning red this side of Xmas and is St Lucia any safer?

  • Geoff 1977 says:

    Difficult to say. Anybody’s guess really

  • Tazzy says:

    2 Dec2 December 20:47

    I’m at st Lucia airport en route home. Reasonably tight covid measures. I suspect Mauritius more likely to go red due to proximity to SA

  Some BA advice please.
  I have a flight booked with BA next week to a country that has closed its borders to foreigners.
  Where do I stand in regards to a refund?
  The flight has not been cancelled but I will not be let in the country

  • meta says:

    Unless the flight is cancelled no refund. You can get Future Travel Voucher though.

    • Jonathan says:

      2 Dec2 December 19:21

      Or an e-voucher.

      You need to leave it as late as possible since the flight might get cancelled if you’re lucky

      • Russell says:

        Thank You.

        Can travel insurance help in any way?

        • Anna says:

          2 Dec2 December 19:44

          That depends on your policy!

  Hi, I’ve been trying to transfer points between two Hilton accounts for 4 weeks now. The first time it worked fine, the points appeared immediately on my account. Now every time I try to transfer them I get to the confirmation page where it says that the points will be transferred within 24-48 hours but they never are. I’ve tried points pooling as well. I called hilton honors customer support but they were not very helpful. The opened a case but not contacted me since. Anyone else had similar problems?

  • Anna says:

    2 Dec2 December 21:31

    Are you within the transfer limits (though I think these are pretty high)?

    • Jamie says:

      2 Dec2 December 21:36

      Yes, I only transferred 40000 pts. And the limit is 500k per year.

  Has anyone had their double BA tier points posted recently, from the BA holidays offer?

  I know BA are having a tough time of it with the BAEC IT drama and Southern Africa flight issues, but I’m waiting for these to post from the beginning of October…

  Obv the form on the BA website to report lost tier points and avios isn’t working and to get through on the phone is a mission. Any tips?

  I was gonna try live chat tomorrow

  • WaynedP says:

    I successfully used Chat to get my double TPs credited in October, despite my request being one week before the published 4 week time-frame.

    Chat collated my details and passed them onto back office admin which processed the whole thing within a couple of days as I recall.

  • DAJ says:

    I used the following email which was actioned promptly:

    exec-club.socialmedia@ba.com

    Hope that helps

  • Matty says:

    Flight was mid October. I emailed on day 30, which was 19 November and no response yet. Still no Tier Points. I emailed exec-club.socialmedia@ba.com
