In case helpful, just received this from Flying Blue. Tried the Accor end as a Accor Plus Diamond and no result still - same direction to a button that doesn’t exist.
Thanks for your reply, ah very true - will have a look at what's cheaper, can't believe I've missed this before!
The SQ service is what I tried to do last year but the timings for anyone connecting to BNE/OOL make it impossible in a day - SQ leaves too early (at least when connecting with VA)...
Have just realised BNE-WLG is a bit of a Trans-Tasman sweet spot at 1556 miles. Return trip in cheapest economy with the partner and that's exactly 80 SCs to renew Gold (courtesy of the FlyBuys promo). Does this seem right?
