Hi all,
I am about to book a flight from Syd to LHR and onto EDI and wanted to see if anybody had any advice or top tips on reasonable deals currently available. I say reasonable, because my flying dates are
- outbound around Dec 14
- inbound around Jan 19
Obviously these are busy times.
Other background info:
- I'm inclined to want to travel in at least a premium economy cabin. Maybe business.
- I'm a plat with with about 170,000 pts
- I'm open to paying or using points
- I'm inclined to book a QF economy ticket and request upgrades to Business class. I'd obviously be hoping they come through but am aware of a significant risk that they don't.
- I've looked briefly at Virgin Atlantic's premium economy: about $4,700
- I've looked at BA's: about $5,000
Can anyone offer any advice on:
- Any good deals they know of in economy / prem econ / business to LHR ?
(The QF economy ticket is coming in at about $3000 .. .. .. which seems a lot).
- Any advice on premium economy ?
- Any advice on whether my requests for upgrade on QF would likely come through ?
- Any advice on other airlines I could think about ?
I am aware of the obvious issue that I've left the booking a wee bit late. However this was dictated by the circumstances, I'm afraid.
Many thanks if you can help,
Victor
