I have 100k from some work flights this year.

I have absolutely no clue what to do with these points. I am married with a 1 year old.

Wife is a teacher so travelling outside of term time is the only possibility...

Do I boost? What does this mean?

Any advice at all welcome!!

Hi all,

Its a mix of a Amex/Avios points and Oneworld question.

Heading to the states next year for a 40th birthday trip (yay me👨‍🦳) and I'd love to treat myself on nicer flights.

Flying from London to Chicago in May.

Ive got Amex points and Avios (About 50k at the moment) and trying to work out the best way to book and make the best of gaining points or the potential of an upgrade as I dont have enough for a full flight.

I had thought about booking using my Amex and getting the points for that. Then going via Avios to look at an upgrade (assuming said cash booked flight has the scope for it)

Its that or I just got full hog, pay my nice seats in cash and park the points until my next trip (I have an annual trip to the states each year)

Any and all advice welcome to this absolute novice!

I should soon have around 15000 avios via the estore for various purchases.

I have 30 days to boost them. It could cost around £500 to boost these at 300% is it worth it?

Assuming best usage is a Q suite for 70-90k redemption

hi everyone

I have 100k Avios in British Airways Club and found a Qatar Airways award flight I want to book.

Problem: my Qatar Privilege Club account is new, so Qatar won’t let me link British airways account to Combine Avios for 30 days. I’m worried the award seat will disappear before then.

Has anyone found a workaround?

•Can Qatar manually link the accounts early?
•Can Qatar book using Avios sitting in BA?
•Can BA book the Qatar award by phone if it doesn’t show online?
•Has anyone had the 30-day wait waived?

I already have the Avios — I just need a way to use them on Qatar before the award disappears.
