Hello - just reading this with interest - it depends what class your ticket is ...
details of miles earned is below - it would be around 4200 * these amounts Economy Classic (O, N, X, Q, E): 50% Economy Classic (L, U, M): 100% Economy Classic (Y, B, R): 150% Economy Delight (V): 150% So to go from a 50% to 150% miles earned for £57 is maybe a good deal. To pay £57 to go from 100% to 150% I don't think is worth it...

Reward flights in Economy / Premium can be very good actually but I agree usually in the Summer/Peak periods
We go this summer and I am getting around 2.2p per mile based on the pricing when we booked - in fact it is around 2.5p per mile on current prices... So it can be worth buying at 1.5p in some examples! (Not that I ever have I agree other than a 2000 mile topup to book a flight once)

We have UC reward flights in March and used some miles for an UC upgrade last month so have really seen the benefit of them, hence my new found obsession (moved my shopping to Tesco, online surveys and EVERYTHING goes through Amex now ), thye still really confuse me though, I'm feel like I'm constantly doing maths.
I'd read somewhere that it was worth upgrading to Delight for the extra miles, but couldn't really get my head round if it made sense for that reason alone, i'm still hoping for a better price on a PE or UC upgrade for that leg instead so paying for Delight isn't something I'd choose to do. We boosted our my flight when the bonus was on and were hoping for another one so we can boost DH's retrospectively and also boost the next flights. Thank you. Will hang on and not do the delight upgrade in that case.

You will always feel like you're doing the maths, especially if you want to fly a combination of classes, earn plenty of miles and want to go frequently at both peak and standard time. I have a household account, so I get a free mileage UC return annually and my DH gets one in PE. It takes time to work out when and how to use them to our best advantage.
I booked flights for August the other day, think I gave the staff member a headache as he couldn't work it out. Took a supervisor call to get it done, but I admit it was complicated. Just bear in mind, that if you booked the delight fare then that would be an extra 8,686 miles pp for £57. If you manage to get a PE or UC reward (upgrading from your classic fare) you'll still only earn 4,343 miles pp. Boosting, especially when there's a bonus, is a good deal but the above is pretty good too.

I think you would get 2150 miles on the outbound leg and 8600 inbound but if you upgraded to delight outbound you would get 6500 instead.
