Heathrow to remove flight cap

Finally, some good news from Heathrow after one of the worst periods for customers and airlines in its history. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the flight cap on departing passengers will definitely end on 29 October, and airlines have apparently already been informed. Although the winter usually sees lower passenger numbers, it would usually expect up to 108,000 departing passengers a day versus the 100,000 cap that has been in place this summer.

However, Heathrow has still got a restriction that prevents airlines from making changes or extra flights at peak periods. They also reserve the right for short-term emergency measures for periods of severe disruption.  

 

TLFL Exclusive – Save on Reward Flight Finder membership and find Avios flights easily

A reminder that our offer to save 20% on Reward Flight Finder ends soon. RFF allows you to see an entire years worth of  Avios flights, set alerts for when seats are released and see all the Avios destinations available on a particular day. The offer is only available until 7 October, so don’t wait to take advantage of this offer. 

You can find out all the details and take advantage of the offer in this article. 

 

Nectar points offer – get 1875 Avios

From 14 Sept to 9 Oct 2022, you can collect 3,000 Nectar points when you spend £250 or more on laptops and PC’s in store or online at Argos. This translates to 1875 Avios. There are two ways to take adavntage. Either present your Nectar card at the till or shop online and link your Argos account to Nectar. 

Points will be added to your account within 30 days.

 

Expedia money-off offer

Expedia has some decent money-off offers which have started today. These are similar to what you can get with cashback sites at certain times but it is simpler since you get the money off immediately and don’t have to worry whether it will track or not.

Barclays and Barclaycard 100,000 Avios offer

Barclays is offering a new huge bonus if you open both a credit card and transfer your current account. This is available to existing customers that only have one of the products. 

You get a guaranteed 100,000 Avios bonus when you open a:

  • Barclaycard Avios Plus credit card (£20 monthly fee), and
  • Premier current account with Barclays Avios Rewards (£12 monthly fee).

To qualify you need to open both of them, or any you don’t already have, between 3 October and 30 November 2022. So if you already have one or the other, you still qualify for the bonus if you complete the set. 

You’ll need to keep them for four months or more, starting from the date you open the last product. 

You also collect 1,500 Avios every single month you are enrolled in the Barclays Avios Rewards programme (18,000 Avios per year), which is an add-on to the current account. This also gives you an upgrade voucher every 12 months. There are some fairly stiff criteria for the current account, including earning a minimum annual gross income of £75,000 that you will deposit into the Barclays account or at least £100,000 invested in savings or investments with Barclays. You can check the eligibility and T&Cs here. 

The Barclaycard Avios Plus Mastercard also allows you to collect 1.5 Avios per £1 spent on the card and an upgrade voucher once every 12 months based on minimum spend. You can read more about the Barclaycard Avios cards in this article. 

You can find the offer page here.

    Just found out that Virgin are closing HKG office and will not resume passenger or cargo flights.

      Can’t say I’m surprised by this. I think HKG may never recover from a tourism point of view.

    I’m not convinced lifting the cap at LHR is a good thing. My experiences have been very mixed and on the whole still far from satisfactory. At security, I’ve done everything from not wait at all to wait in excess of 45 minutes for fast track in the last six weeks. I’ve also seen utter chaos at immigration, it took me 50 minutes to pass through e-gates in T2 last week with only 50% of them open and enough snake tape in place to make you think Holland-Kaye had shares in the maker and then baggage handling has been a huge variable too, anything from 30 mins to two hours with priority tagged bags. The place just isn’t working.

    In contrast at other places under similar circumstances I would say I hadn’t waited more than fifteen minutes for anything and often less. Other places include BER, ZRH, ATH, HEL, FCO, LIN, ARN, OSL, TOS, YVR, YYZ, SIN & KUL.

    LHR remains a shambles in comparison.

Checking out the new No 1 lounge at @heathrow_airp Checking out the new No 1 lounge at @heathrow_airport T2. Very impressed with the elegant feel to the lounge. It’s definitely a step up from the older style of No1. I’d go as far to say that it looks better than quite a few airline lounges. All drinks are included apart from champagne and there was a good selection of tasty food as well. Full review coming soon. #airportlounge #heathrowairport #luxurytravel #no1lounge
