(16 Aug 2016, 7:42 am)Andreos1 Haven't looked at the number of points needed, but got mine building up steadily at the moment. Can all but hope! Doubt they will be anywhere near the number 8222 has (going off the information shared on here about flying activities)

I always claim mine back pretty quick to be honest. I just like travelling too much! They get spent on a European hop.

I really would suggest a trip on a Cityflyer E190 or E170. They are fab little aircraft. I think they've contracted an Eastern Airways aircraft (G-CIXW) for this season, too. It's just a shame I've got to fly Iberia again... Then again, it could be worse - it could have been Vueling. Some friends had an absolute nightmare with them last year with the baggage strike in BCN. Let's just say, Vueling's customer service isn't great, to say the least!

Have either of you tried a BA 77W? I'd strongly recommend a long haul trip on one. They're so nice. Saying that, even though I flew to DFW last year on a 77W, I chose specifically to fly from JFK on the way back to fly on a good old 744. I just love them to fly on. Even when you're being bounced through some turbulence they just feel rock solid - the wings on a 77W get a bit flappy with the curvature!

Aircraft flown on:

744, 77W, 772, E145, E190, E170, E175, E195, A319, A320, A320NEO, A321, A321NEO, A330-200, A330-300, A340-600 763, 752, 733, 737, 738, CRJ900, CRJ1000
Favourite aircraft: G-STBL/G-ZBKL
