£4000 worth of tesco deals, which is better for value ,airmiles or book a holiday?

i have £1000 pounds worth of tesco vouchers worth £4000 in deals.

i am looking at travelling to either malaysia thailand mexico maldives or caribbean for 2 adults and 2 children for 2 weeks.

has anyone converted such an amount and looked into booking a holiday through airmiles or virgin broucher?

any suggestions welcome.

i have thought of selling them on ebay and booking my own holiday and get a cheap deal, though i feel i might loose a lot on ebay and pay pal fees ect.

    i have been on a couple of holidays with tesco vouchers and i use the holiday brochure company. i think you need alot more pointsfor airmiles.phone virgin, cosmos and airmiles for prices.you can check virgin online for an idea of prices. hope this helps.

    you need loads more points for airmiles and then you have to pay what seems like a ridiculous amount in taxes; I'd go for the holiday - what a load of points btw, you must worship even harder at the shrine of tesco than i do :D
  • ive not long started collecting them!!and was always thinking aboot changing them to airmiles but after reading this i gather its a no no

    You can also exchange your points directly to British Airways Miles:

    and if you have a family account set up everyone can benefit - you've got enough ponits/miles for a couple of return flights to New Zealand :)
