Finding Airmiles availability

ceewash

I am saving Airmiles and want to use them to go on holiday, preferably paying for the whole flight(s). Is there an easy way of searching for which flights are available without searching through each destination. I want to travel from Manchester and many of my choices do not seem available.

Hi,

Try phoning the airmiles team - see if they can find some dates for you.

Is it easy to get flights from regional airports?

Click on http://www.airmiles.co.uk/spend/free-flights-from-regional-airports#region-pick and then click on Manchester.

Tick the my dates are flexible box when searching.

I'm a big fan of Airmiles but I think they could make it even more user friendly to book flights.

Just before Christmas I had my eye on a return flight that I could use my airmiles on. Come the week I'm ready to book it and the use Airmiles option was removed so had to pay the cash only option 1 week before the flight, I checked it again and the Airmiles option was back!!! My heart dropped when I saw that I had spent £700 needlessly.

Perhaps my hesitation was partly to blame, but I kinda understand what the OP is saying as it does take ages to search for that perfect flight that accepts Airmiles. If I just wanted a cash price, I would use LastMinute or something similar.

Yes, it would be good to see which flights are available on your dates, like you can do on the MSE Flightchecker.
