Thought I might try and use the Airmiles before they wither.
Thought we might go to a place not been before.
Thought about Stornoway, Tiree and other outlying islands of the realm.
YES, said Airmiles, 750 miles each for the round trip from LHR, changing at GLA/ABZ as required. Then it said 'no full miles tickets available for your dates' and quotes me £400 or so. I check all the destinations and multiple dates AND at unusual times and, guess what? No redemption tickets available on any of the sectors. My, my surprise has overwhelmed me.
