Hello,

My trips ( now booked) in April/May:

7th April : VS19 EDI-LHR-SFO (UCS) SFO-PHX ( First on HPusing the cheap FC fares)
9th April : HP PHX-LAS :) followed by a little gambling
10th April: HP LAS-SFO
11th April SFO-LHR-EDI (UCS)

30th April : I'm going to Disneyworld!![8D] LGW-MCO ( LHR equipped aircraft probably). I cannot think of a better way to spend my birthday than with VS;)
8th May MCO-LGW ( LHR aircraft again apparently)

Now to decide my June flight ( going to Montreal/Quebec)
As I see it 3 options

(1) BA LHR-Toronto ( NCW-Upper deck)
(2) Bmi MAN-Toronto ( business with bmi *G hopefully)
(3) VS LHR-IAD ( then Air Canada from Dulles or Regan National)

Decisions, decisions esp. as the VS IAD flight is a A340-600 with vport :D

PS I've never tired BA NCW or bmi business transatlantic.


Regards

TBS

Planning a mini mileage run??? :D

Depends what position you are in to benefit from the miles and points. The BA product is definately superior to the BMI business class but if you dont have any other BA mileage income then those miles alone dont add up to much. On the other hand the BMI flights will net you 200% FC miles plus another 4 FC tier points, which could be alot more useful and MAN is alot less crowded with both aircraft and passengers so would be a smoother transfer for you than battling across to LHR T4.

Enjoy your trips!

Hi anteo,

Ooops!! my mistake.[:I]

Thanks for pointing that out. :)

I, of course meant to say , VS LHR-IAD then air canada ( now corrected).

I do have some BA airmiles ( 50k approx) , with mu new bmi * Gold with the internal flights I woud get enough miles to retain * silver next year or increase my VS balance ( Gold will be retained by then)

Regards
