This week's top travel hacks |
| 750 Avios from e-Rewards - Another Avios giveaway in exchange for 10 minutes of your time. e-Rewards are currently offering 750 Avios to new users who complete their first survey. Full details can be found on our post here |
| |
| 500 Avios for joining IHG Rewards Club - You could get an easy 500 Avios simply for signing up. Just use the link below before 31st December and make sure you set up your profile so that you get British Airways Avios instead of IHG Rewards Club points. That's it. They'll add to your BA account with the Avios in a month or two. Sign up using this link |
| |
| Save 50% on BA long-haul economy Avios redemptions - If you've been collecting Avios, this might be the time to redeem them. BA have cut the amount of Avios needed by half to over 90 long haul destinations. Normally, using Avios for economy seats is a bit of a waste, but not with this promotion. A return to LA will only set you back 16,250 Avios. Some routes are excluded, including Sydney, Santiago de Chile, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, San Jose (Costa Rica - which is a shame as that's where I had my eye on) and Grenada. You must book by 17th December for travel between 4th January and 30th June 2018. |
| |
| Virgin Atlantic Fabulous Flights - Some good discounts can be found in the Virgin Atlantic winter sale. Return flights from £385, including Dubai, New York, Orlando and LA. Book by Monday 19th December Check availability here |
| |
| Malmaison Hotels - room, dinner and wine from £89 - A nice little winter warmer from Malmaison Hotels from £89, including a room for 2, a two-course dinner plus a bottle of wine. Maimaison Hotels are very swanky, so it's an ideal treat for someone special. The hotels can be found in Aberdeen, Belfast, Birmingham, Brighton, Cheltenham, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Oxford and Reading. Check availability here |
