Coo eee. I am trying to book a flight. A small one from ‘the North’ to ‘the South’. I can redeem some of my Flybe points and face a bill for c£85 (taxes and wotnot) or I can book without redeeming the points and pay £90 for the same return flight. Two questions… 1) am I doing it right and if so 2) That seems a bit wrong.

Will the fancy frequent flybe flier among you please come along and tell me I’ve neglected to tick the right box, somewhere?!!

I reckon you’re right; they’ll be kack

I have bloody thousands of virgin atlantic miles that are utterly worthless to me

My Airmiles (Or Avioses/Avii?) are with BA, and I have a scarily large number of them. Not sure if the same system applies to Flybe miles, but from experience on the BA scheme, the best use of them is to spunk as many as you can on an existing flight booking to upgrade to a comfy seat. So, for short haul, hardly worth it!
