Our Verdict
Cash prices on these types of tickets are already reasonable and become even better with this additional $100 off. 2¢ per point is great value in my opinion, but just make sure you compare to other airlines to ensure you’re getting the best possible deal.
Hat tip to God Save The Points
Did I get something wrong? After seeing this deal, i gave a try at British Airway website. Pick a one-way from BOS to LHR on Dec 22. I got $2,585.00!!! I was shocked and google flight search shows Norwegian air charge $425 for the Nonstop flight on the same date. Norwegian charge even less (as low as $260 after the Christmas). Other airline didn’t charge as little but still at $500~$700 range. What the heck about the hefty price?
Back to the deal though, I did see 2500 avios for $50 off. So the deal apply to one-way as well. But, hey, the tax itself is $208.Does $100 or $50 discount even matter?
I figured out the offer. Basically its only roundtrip from NY to london but limited to 7 days or 10 max but you pay more..and you have the option to discount $100 in exchange for 5000 avios. If it wasnt for the day limit it might have been a good deal …pass for me
can i book with 4 different friends ( different last names all on my avios account registered under my name to get 400 dollars off 4 ticket s?
basically to understand this is a promotion to receive 100 dollar off flight discount toward a future cash flight lets say0 if you use 5,000 avios or more to book a different flight? what happens if i book avios 7.5 k from us to canada adn need to cancel in a few months from now can i still get the voucher?
when it says “must book by feb 26th” does it mean including feb 26th I don’t think I know what flight I want to book until tomorrow? how do you receive the 100 dollar off code? via email? and is this stackable with travler companion pass. thank you will and chuck and would love for you guys to make a seminar in hotel on of these days im sure it would be packed
Yeah including feb 26th AFAIK
