Anyone know if/how flyers from Belfast can use existing AirMiles to book free flights (out of season) to domestic airports eg to London before the cut-off date? BA no longer fly from Belfast but we're looking at using AirMiles to flying ex London to USA.

Thx.

Hi Tom,

Stefanie from Airmiles here. I saw your private message - apologies, I can no longer access these to respond now that our account has been verified.

If you get in touch with the Customer Contact Centre on 0844 49 333 49, they'll be able to go through your options with you in detail. Alternatively, if you're happy to post publicly, let me know the dates you'd like to travel and I'll try and help as much as possible.

Thanks,

Hi tgt,

Your account will stay open as long as you have collected or spent Avios in the last 36 months. So the collection you're doing will keep your account active.

Hope this helps.

Stefanie

Thank you Stephanie for clearing up the confusion.

Hi loates123,

Stefanie from Airmiles here.

You can find Airmiles flights via our website, https://www.airmiles.co.uk. For flights only, select the 'Flight only' option and enter your information into the required fields in the yellow box on the 'Home' tab (such as your dates of travel and destination), then press search. Displayed results will include both cash and Airmiles payment options (subject to availability).

To privately discuss flights on specific routes and dates, please feel free to call the Customer Contact Centre on 0844 49 333 49.

British Airways does not fly to Cuba.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Stefanie

Virgin operates Gatwick to Havana, search for flight times http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/gb/flighttimes/index.jsp and then check on the flying dates only at https://www.airmiles.co.uk

BA code share with Iberia, not actually BA. However, you should be able to buy a miles flight on that routing subject to availability.
Similarly you could try a miles flight to east coast US and a subsequent flight to Cuba.

has anyone got experiance using airmiles for non flight rewards? Can't get seats on any dates I could potentially used for flights so I'm looking at other options, had a look at the selection of package holidays on the airmiles site but they all seem like last minute deals and not particularly great offers.
