Well it’s been coming for some time as I’ve been dancing around OneWorld with and Qantas their Paper Status (thanks to that wonderful British Airways Ashes Fare a couple of years ago). With a pathetic 6000 miles or so in my Qantas account, I’ll keep that alive with the odd Aer Lingus flight (or dread the thought – pay and top up the account for something actually useful).
But it’s time to let Skippy go with the advent of IAG subsuming British Midland, and consolidate my miles.
This is next for me though:
Oh well – only 250 Avios to earn before I’m allowed a British Airways Blue card…
Let the great game begin – anew!

Do we know yet if our bmi miles will definitely get transferred into Avios?

Alas Matt, the answer as far any of us know is “I don’t know”. I’m taking a precautionary step of opening up an account – least of all there one heck of a good Tesco to Avios promo coming up.
And I’d hate to see £33 of vouchers go to waste they can be converted into a *lot* of Avios as a starting point…
