British Airways has quietly launched a new way to upgrade your flight and for once, it gives passengers real control over what they pay. Instead of fixed upgrade prices at check-in, BA is now testing a bidding system that allows selected passengers to make an offer for a higher cabin before departure. If your bid is successful, you move up. If not, you stay put, no harm done. It’s rolled out slowly, and not every route or flight qualifies yet. But this is clearly part of BA

Right now, Reward Flight Finder is offering 20% off Annual memberships for Black Friday, and if you’re serious about booking Avios reward flights, this is one of the most powerful tools you ca

On the way home also in the name of BLOG research and 'aherm', work I tried and tested two lounges at Manchester Airport Terminal 2. Is the Escape Airport Lounge T2 Manchester Actually an Escape? My Honest Pre-Flight Verdict.

The FAA warns cuts could rise to 4–10% if it continues and yes, it’s starting to affect some transatlantic flights from Europe too.

For travellers who collect Qatar Airways Avios, one of the more exciting partnerships in recent years is with JetBlue Airways.

Few travel experiences compare to wandering through a European city square in December, warmed by mulled wine as fairy lights sparkle above and choirs sing carols. From Cologne’s Gothic cathedral to Riga’s cobbled old town, Europe’s best Christmas markets combine festive tradition, local culture, and unbeatable atmosphere. The problem? December flights are some of the year’s priciest. London to Cologne can hit £250 return, and even budget airlines hike fares. But if you’re s

When most people think about earning Avios, they picture booking flights with British Airways or swiping a credit card. But here’s a little travel hack I love: you can earn thousands of Avios simply by shopping online for the stuff you were already going to buy. That new suitcase? Those summer trainers? The sunglasses you’ll inevitably leave on the beach bar table? All of those purchases could be quietly stacking Avios in the background. And one of the easiest ways to do it

If you've ever dreamed of flying in style but thought business class was out of reach, I'm here to tell you that it's possible and you don’t need to spend a fortune to do it! In just three months, I went from zero Avios to securing a business class upgrade on Qatar Airways. Even better? My entire flight from Dublin to Beijing only cost me £300, £200 less than flying from London! Here’s how I made it happen, and how you can too.

If you collect Avios, you already know how valuable they can be for saving money or upgrading your travel. But you don’t always have to fly to earn them. This week’s Avios bonus tip is a clever one.
