Thanks for sharing. I have also been Tier point chasing and one downside is putting on weight from all the lounge food and drinks over the last 6 months or so 😂. And on my recent trip to the BA Glasgow lounge I enjoyed the breakfast offer before they bought out lunch just before midday. Looking forward to your next videos.

Thank you! Yes, we definitely have to be mindful of the potential weight gains, but the call of travelling is normally a bit too strong for us. We have a few other vlogs on the channel now and have two further trips to edit and release in the coming weeks. There will be lots of travel days on there, but also some of the days when we’re at locations too, to give a bit of variety. Hopefully you’ll like what you see. 👍🏻 Luke.

I never thought of doing an "in UK" tier point run, but I just checked prices and it looks like you can get the "benchmark" £2 per tier point if you pick your dates carefully.

Ibis budget is Etap. It was rebranded a few yesrs ago.

I believe we did reference that on the video after some discussion but thanks for confirming 👍🏻

Great to have a sneak peek inside the lounge. 🤗. P.s. I'm a fan of the horse lamp!

I never could understand a horse with a lampshade as fine art. Until I saw the light...

Haha. That took a while for the penny to drop, but very clever! One of our friends quite liked it though when we took her in to the lounge last week. I guess it’s just a matter of personal taste right? Luke.

Is a Thameslink and change on to Elizabeth line not an option for you?

@Those_Travelholics Ай бұрын

Yep, very much so - But as we said in the vlog it can be a bit of a challenge changing from one train to another and negotiating lifts or escalators if you have suitcases with you. So we tend to use The Airline as the suitcases go in the hold (no fighting to try and find luggage rack space on the train) and there are no changes. For us, that makes it a bit easier. 😊

@ ah I thought you talked about the Heathrow Express that’s what confused me as it sounded like, train, tube, Express rather than two modes and one change at Farringdon.

I didn't think you were awarded tier points on Avios redemption tickets?? It's not clear what you actually did.

@@maxthelab8457Yes, normally that’s correct. But it depends how you book the flight. If you do it as a reward flight, you are totally right. You get nothing really for that in terms of Avios or Tier points. But we booked this as a cash flight, and used Avios to reduce the price. So we still earned the tier points (and Avios too). The value of Avios seems to reduce the more you try to redeem in one go against a cash booking, so stockpiling them to try and spend on a long trip isn’t always the best approach. But you can really use them to your advantage for these ultra-short haul trips which earn 40 points each way in Club Europe, if you use them as a part payment, rather than a reward flight. Luke.

@@Those_Travelholics Yeah I was just discussing it with my Hubs and he said it must be cash booking, offseting the cost with Avios. We have never really chased status as we run our own company and feed EVERYTHING through our Amex account, so we accrue Avios like they are going out of fashion. We usually rack up about 500K a year so with our companion vouchers we manage about 3 First Rtns a year and several CE trips... This year we went First to SFO in May and next week we are off to Santiago ( Chile ) in First. Have done a few European jaunts too, next is Prague in November. The only bummer for us is it is hit or miss that we get row 1 when we travel - which in the First cabins is neither here no r there, but in CE, well you know what I mean. Anyways guys, I will be following your travels, always so much more interesting when the hosts are cute lol.

Tier point runs are good fun, I’ve done a LHR-Edinburgh and back again twice in the last week, plus a trip to Newcastle, the. Dublin to LA in three weeks time. I think I’m a bit of a female nerd when it comes to Tier point runs

@RandomLifeProductions We may have to ask for tips on that! Although we did find Google Flights quite useful in finding the cheapest ones available!
