Redeeming Frequent Flyer miles for Honeymoon

13 November 2008 1,174 views 2 Comments

This newspaper article has inspired me to collect Frequent Flyer points. I have 18,000 so far on my Virgin Flight and I want to redeem it for a free holiday. I dont think it will go as far as a honeymoon but for some other money savvy brides, perhaps this could help:

According to my research on the Virgin Flying Club:

Dubai and New York needs 38, 250 or 22, 500 points

India, Barbados needs 50,000 points

Hong Kong needs 60,000 points.

 

Heres the article for some inspiration:

A couple spent three months trawling the streets for litter so they could recycle it and turn it into air miles to pay for their honeymoon flight.

John and Ann Till, collected 60,000 items in their daily and often nightly quest for cans, bottles and plastic containers.

They took each load to a Tesco store not far from where they live in Petersfield, Hampshire, where one club card point is awarded for every four items recycled in its machine.

Points were turned into vouchers which were then converted into 36,000 British Airways air miles.

    Grrrr! Frequent flyer miles make me soooo angry. I hate how they jack up the number of miles you need for good flights. All I can ever get my hands on are the worst flight options. It’s to the point where I don’t even bother anymore.
