Miles Further is a new way to get more out of your Flying Club miles. These new Sale fare Redemption flights require 20% less miles than normal and are available on some routes now until 1 April 2007*.

Thanks, Obi. I can't make use of that within the deadline, but it's very interesting. Here's hoping they'll be doing something similar next time I need to book.

I never feel its worth using so many points for a flight. For 2,000 miles Last Oct to LAX brought price down from around £600 to £375, this Easter MCO down from £550 to £291, so they almost half the cost for 2,000 miles but want another 48,000 miles for other half of cost. Worst deal I have ever got is this August 2000 miles brought it down from £830 to £533 but that is peak time.
