AMEX OFFER: £150 Back When You Spend £1,500 with Air France
A targeted Amex offer has appeared on selected cards for Air France, giving £150 back as a statement credit when you spend £1,500 by 6th May 2026.
The deal is mainly showing on Platinum cards, along with a few others.
You must save the offer to your card before spending, and it is valid once per card. If you’re planning to make the most of the offer, add it as soon as you can.
Flights must depart from UK airports, and spending can be across one or more transactions as long as payment is taken by 6th May. Payment must be made directly with Air France in GBP (phone bookings excluded).
Though the spend requirement is higher than the previous £1,000 get-£150 offers, it is still very achievable. You can also book partner-operated flights via Air France with airlines such as KLM, Delta and Virgin Atlantic.
Statement credit should appear within 30 days. If you’re thinking of booking a trip soon, it’s worth checking what Air France has available.

BeOnd to Launch New Routes Including Heathrow
BeOnd is an all Business Class airline with a relaxed boutique feel and a focus on excellent service and high-quality dining.
The winter 2026 schedule has now been announced, and it includes three new routes from the Maldives, including:
- Heathrow – 15th December – 3x weekly
- Paris CDG – 17th December – 3x weekly
- Moscow Sheremetyevo – 15th December – 3x weekly
New routes are subject to approval and slot availability. Heathrow to Malé one-way fares start at £2,019.
All flights include a refuelling stop at Dubai World Central Airport (though this sector is not sold separately). As well as Dubai not being the ideal stop for refuelling at the moment, the stop itself takes away some of the appeal compared to options like Virgin and BA, which run direct flights.
BeOnd already runs seasonal services to Munich, Milan and Zurich.
There is also the not-so-small matter of the fleet, which currently consists of just two aircraft: an Airbus A321 and an Airbus A319. With such a small fleet, Beond will need to expand to operate these routes at the planned frequency, though a few months ago, they announced plans to grow to 22 aircraft and 30 destinations by 2030.
BeOnd is currently offering 15% off bookings for travel between 25th October 2026 and 27th March 2027 when you book by 31st March 2026 using the code BEONDWINTER15.

If your upcoming plans include one of these destinations, or if you’re thinking of a spontaneous trip, 30% off is a great discount, especially in cities such as Zurich, which have higher pricing.
As with most IHG promotions, the discount applies to the Best Flexible Rate, so it’s worth comparing it against prepaid or member-exclusive rates. Bookings must be at least 3 days in advance.
