Flybe reward points

Post by Rocket »

Anyone ever try to book flights using there flybe reward points. Total ripoff. Actually no saving whatsoever.

I tried to book a flight to Birmingham and it was cheaper to go with another airline.

Nolan did a piece on this a few weeks ago. Seems to be cheaper to pay the fare in most cases - especially if you're flying from here.
Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

They are even less use than Air Miles.

airmiles are pretty rubbish for flights but not bad for hotels etc

once used them to pay for 5 days/4 nights at disneyland for 4 people, hotel accomodation, breakfast and unlimited access to both Paris parks

thought that was quite good at the time!

Used to use Air miles for flights for my son to and from Uni in Newcastle, then those Avios charlatans took over and not only is there no such thing as a free lunch, you can add in free flights to that.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
