Good video. So 2x(40+140+140+140) TPs = 920 in total. £1.32 per TP is excellent value! Of course there's additional costs - positioning to/from Budapest, hotels/food etc. but even so, still very good value. Post-Covid the benchmark seems to be around £2/TP just for flights. As for AA etc, I find it ridiculous that internal flights of 6 hours in "First" don't give lounge access! And the FAs...well can be pleasant, can be miserable. Whereas BA FAs are, in my experience, always top notch.
I cannot agree with you more. I had some really surely FA's on AA, but BA were excellent. And yes your TP calculation was correct. i had already had a few other flights taken, so got gold a few weeks after the trip. I'm currently planning a new run for next October, which should be a really interesting one. So glad you enjoyed the video, hopefully i'll keep you interested with all my new ones 🙂
Thanks for the comment I booked using an online travel agent, who were excellent. The total price for booking including their fees was £1217, which works out at £1.32 per point. Trying to do that now is nearly impossible, although I am trying!
Flagship dining at LAX closed during Covid ;)
Yes indeed Scott, still closed but hoping it opens up soon. I should have remarked on it, but felt longer term it will be more fitting.
