News, Tips & Tricks
We got around to updating our popular post How to get select Canada to U.S. award flights faster by utilizing British Airways' Executive Club with the US Airways flights options now that they are a oneworld airline and of course a partner of British Airways. Be sure to read to article to see how you can fly in North America for as little as 9,000 Avios round trip.
In the bonus offers section check out the Virgin Atlantic offer of a 20% bonus on their Miles Booster feature. This is the option that allows you to 'buy' more miles when you fly on Virgin Atlantic. Miles Boosters allows you to essentially double or triple the miles you earn on flight, when you go for the triple miles route you are buying the miles a 1 pence a piece but with this offer you get 20% more which means you are buying the miles at 0.83 pence (about 1.4 US cents / 1.6 CDN cents). Considering the recently launched Flying Club buy miles bonus of also 20% will have miles costing 1.31 pence (2.2 US cents 2.5 CDN Cents) this is a great deal. Add to the fact that Virgin Atlantic is also running the 50% bonus + 2 Tier Points on economy class flights you should really be able to rack up lots of Flying Club miles on your upcoming VS flights! (this is mainly for those of you thinking of using VS's flights out of YVR)
