The BA staff travel benefits are certainly a great help ... as long as you don't mind travelling standby even when you have a so called "firm" seat!

Agree, I let the flights dictate where I'm going. That's the only downside, New York is 7 flights a day. Guaranteed business class.

Try to stay away from destinations with 1 flight a day. Although I did get to Vegas and back on staff travel, and that's 1 flight a day.

Sounds good. I've often wondered what Arizona and Utah are like in the "winter" - love the desert, but it's too hot at the usual holiday times!

We have been sevral times over Christmas and New Year and it is perfect still warm during the day bit chilly at night, but nothing like here. The locals think we are mad in shorts and and T-Shirts however for them it is a big temp drop from summer so I can understand some comments we get asking if we are Candian !

Long weekend in NYC, and hopefully 2 weeks in Jamaica later in the year after the hurricane season.

Yup, I try to avoid destinations with one flight a day. Did go to Vegas last year, but flew back from LAX. On a recent FLA trip I selected MIA as higher flight frequency than Orlando or Tampa. Having said that I got Business Class to and from Denver 18 months ago.

Anyway, a very nice perk as long as you don't mind a bit of hassle on occasions!

I've got to have major surgery in a few days' time. After that, not allowed in an aeroplane for a few months, plus need to stay away from crowds for a few weeks. Had to sell back my BHA tickets. all very depressing. So, off to Bembridge in the Isle of Wight in May (the kids love it) and Le Vieux Port in Gascony in France in August. Hoping for some nice weather here in the meantime...
