The Gorse Fox has, over the years, managed to accumulate what was once a significant number or BA Airmiles. Chunks of these were commuted into flights for Cousteau-cub in the past, but there was still a residual balance. BA threatened that if they were not used in some way they would be lost – today.
Now over the years GF has on numerous occasions tried to spend these pseudo-Airmiles but never been able to get flights that came close to his requirements. He could fly out when he wanted but not return for 3 weeks (or whatever).
Today he decided that he would find something. Anything. As a result he and the Silver Vixen now have tickets for a trip to Pisa in September. Needless to say the whole process is a bit of a con. Having told you that the journey will cost 15,000 airmiles (an actual journey of 992 miles each way)… they then manage to charge you a further £75+ each for surcharges, taxes etc. (Why the hell don’t they get absorbed by the airmiles).
We now have to consider where to stay whilst there, but that can wait for another day.
