Every year there tends to be a route that offers good value for money when chasing BA Executive Club Tier Points (TPs). For a while now, Sofia (SOF) has been a great place to earn (relatively) low cost TPs.
Welcome to The Billingham Blog! This is a record of Nigel and Vicky Billingham’s journey through life, primarily focusing on holidays, trips and events.
We are in the process of migrating our blog over from tumblr, which became far too restrictive with limited opportunities to expand. So we are hosting ourselves now with Hostinger.
That means it’s going to take us a while to migrate stories over, refine them and manage links to flickr photos. So bear with us!
