We were in the process of selling our house but still got away. To save our pennies for moving, we decided to forfeit any more long-haul holidays using Avios and used all of them to pay for our flight and hotel. We stayed in Hotel Real Marina in the ‘ traditional and characterful fishing town’. We …
Our first time in Canada and we had a very memorable experience! This holiday was a spur-of-the-moment splash of Avios points. We spotted First Class seats were available so we took up the opportunity as it sounded like a little New York. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Downtown and took a tour of Niagara …
Florida gave us a chance for full-on entertainment and then some relaxation. Once again we used our Avios to fly. This time we tried a twin centre in Florida and hired a car. For the first half of the holiday, we based ourselves at Drury Inn & Suites so we could enjoy Universal Studios. In …
We wanted to holiday in the UK this year and chose Cornwall. We combined visiting relatives and attending a wedding with our holiday. Basing ourselves at the Premier Inn Cambourne, we visited St. Ives and the Eden Project, which was well worth a visit and felt like a true attraction.

We’d been to Lisbon and loved it so wanted to see another Portuguese destination. We booked a typical package holiday to make it easy and relaxing, which it certainly was. Whilst it was a fairly small place we were able to find enough to do in order to occupy ourselves. It has some pretty architecture …
Our first go at using Avios to pay for long-haul BA flights! Probably one of the best holidays we’ve ever been on. We went for ten days and bought a City Pass that kept us very busy the whole time – everything from the Top of the Rock to the NBC Studio Tour. We particularly …
We holidayed in the scenic town on the Turkish Mediterranean coast. We arranged ourselves .
We went on a road trip in Essex, but added Kent too. We created a holiday out of John’s desire to revisit the area for nostalgic reasons. We started in Colchester and toured Essex including Maldon, Chelmsford and Southend. It was quite tiring! Once we’d finished we headed to one of John’s favourite cities, Canterbury. …
