Hey,

There seems to be some decent reductions on E and PE reward flights currently...

e.g. LHR-JFK going for 12,250 in E and 19,250 in PE. Looks to be a reduction of 30% for both cabins. UC seems to be unchanged.

That's interesting.
Have you found any other destinations?

Yep, quite a few:

LHR-HKG: 17,500 in E and 28,000 in PE
LGW-MCO: 14,875 in E and 24,500 in PE
LHR-SFO: As above.

Seems to be across the board!

Thanks for the super quick reply.

Kind Regards

How bizarre...somebody forget to send out an email?

Possibly! There's nothing on the reward flights page either that mentions a promotion...

It looks like there is something in the planning regarding miles, I have just received a mail from FlyingCo entitled "Go stateside with Flying Co bonus miles" --- thought it was going to mention this reduction, but it is offering bonus miles [1000 in economy, 2500 in PE and 5000 in UC] for bookings made before 31st March

Looks like it is only for FlyingCo and only Stateside

30% bonus on buying miles but am unable to tell about boosters

Presumably they'll announce it in a day or so once all the systems have been updated. It's quite normal for sale fares to be loaded before they're publicised.

Interesting that it's later than the last few years though. Possibly to avoid becoming too predictable. I've no doubt people will have held out for a reward sale then given up and booked when one didn't materialise by the end of Jan. They can always cancel and rebook - but of course there's no guarantee the seats will still be available.

3 days past the 6 month cut off for an UC LHR-JFK, have they ever shown anyone some flexibility in the past? Came back MCO-LGW in E typically... These were both reward flights.

Just a reminder that Flying Co is NOT the same as flying Club and has different rules and promotions that don't cross over.

Email has just come out about reward seat sale and miles booster 30% extra......

Reward seat sale on website, ends 24th Feb
