The invitation to a friend’s wedding in Washington D.C. was the perfect excuse to use a BA AmEx 2for1 voucher I had sitting in my account. I knew that it was on the cards, and had at least 120,000 Avios in the household account when the invitation came through the post at the end of… Read More Review: British Airways First Class Experience – London Heathrow – Washington D.C.
This might sound crazy, but with such a short time in the city, I would advise hiring a car – preferably a Mustang – and getting out of it! Pick up a car from the airport (I can recommend Avis as they have decent cars, are reasonably priced and their free-to-join Preferred scheme means you… Read More MisterAirmiles’ guide to 48 hours in Las Vegas
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a small land-locked country in the heart of Europe – literally and metaphorically given the concentration of European Union departments based here.

Travel British airways fly twice daily to Luxembourg City from London Heathrow’s Terminal 3.… Read More MisterAirmiles’ guide to 36 hours in Luxembourg
Flights to Nice are my benchmark for value in the miles and points game. I know that I will happily pay up to about £150 per person return.

The plan was an excruciatingly early start for the 0725 flight from T3 to LUX on… Read More GUEST POST: MummyAirmiles’ LUXurious tier point run
So – here I am, sitting in seat 1A on BA1469, an A320 from Inverness to Heathrow. I am heading down to LHR and then on to Luxembourg for the weekend with MisterAirmles. This quick trip came about as a result of deciding that it was worth collecting an additional 160TPs and 5k Avios to… Read More GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles and the £412 ticket change
Sofitel is the generally regarded as being at the top of the Accor tree. I stayed in the one attached to Terminal 5 at Heathrow and was suitably impressed. I needed a Saturday night stay in Luxembourg and initially looked for rooms with Twin beds but the results were not grabbing my attention so I… Read More Review: Sofitel Luxembourg Europe
After a pretty busy week, it was time to head home. An early flight from Las Vegas to New York meant that I had to return my hire car to the airport at around 0530. Getting through security was a fairly quick process and I was soon at the gates. Having had a successful night… Read More Vegas2017 – Part 4: Homeward-bound
Having flown out to Copenhagen, and then back to London and up to Manchester, it was soon time to fly out to Vegas. I was thankful that my Gold status allowed me to book a seat in American Airline’s Main Cabin Extra section. These tend to be seats with slightly more legroom that are situated… Read More Vegas2017 – Part 3: The Philadelphia Skip
