So we’re at that point where I’m now past the 5000 post marker, and going into the distance.
So that means its time to give something away.
So I need 5000 of something to give away. It can’t be luggage tags (the postal cost will bankrupt me) or Remove before Flight Keyrings (that’ll double bankrupt me), or the entire contents of the Boeing and Airbus shops (maybe pencils if you’re lucky).
So what can I give away…. I know… AVIOS. Because lets face it – you’re here for the miles aren’t you?
I know you want those tasty and free Avios. Go on. Admit it…
So 5000 Avios. What can that get you? Well, a short-haul flight somewhere (with change). Or you can put it to a bigger reward.
What have I done with my Avios?
They’ve taken me to Hamburg – a lot of times when the revenue fares were £500 return, from Chicago to Washington DC when the cash prices was too rich ,to Europe to kick start some long haul adventures and even to Hong Kong aboard Cathay Pacific.
So to enter my “I wrote 5000 posts and all I got were 5000 Avios points” draw, simply tell me
What would you do with 5000 Avios?

James K. says
Dearest EC&B (nee GIFE),
I am planning a points and miles trip to end all points and miles trips for next summer. A last hurrah, if you will, before my wife and I consider upending our happy little lives. To do so in the way I want to do so, I need about 2,000,000 miles and points, of which some are avios. I will use them for PVG-NRT in JAL business, an excellent use for them if I do say. So help a brother out, Kevin, help a brother out
