My daft octet of trips commence today. These were all constructed using the old cheap £210 return fares in Club Europe which earned 160 TPs a pop.

Is it a daft idea to book eight B2Bs to Sofia over 29 days? I guess we will find out!

As my TP run draws to an end, the final step took me back to my car ahead of the drive home to Drayton, Oxfordshire.

This trip is another one based on the trending good value trips, starting in Dublin and ending in Spain. I don't quite understand whether these cheaper trips are an anomaly, or someone actually decides this sort of trip is a good idea.

Back in the air, to continue adding to my Tier Point pot. Somewhere new for me this time: Tucson in Arizona. The only time I have ever come across Tucson in the past is courtesy of Chandler in Friends.

Passport Control was pretty busy to be honest, but it didn't take very long to get through. Another successful use of the automated kiosks and I continue to be a happy bunny!
