Would stopping frequent flyer awards stop you flying

[THE WIZARD]

Would not make one ounce of difference to us.
The only thing that would make a difference as far as climate change is concerned is if the airlines used more efficient planes anyway.
Read Head For Points take on it - very interesting.

No, I don't fly enough for it to make a difference.

Would not having airmiles flights lessen flight frequency?

For us we fly at least two sets of long haul flights a year with BA airmiles plus companion voucher. It would cost more but we would still do the flying so I dont believe it would alter our flight pattern.

99% of holiday makers can’t avail of free flights so I would say no

Nope will still travel as and when I want to - we also fly with various airlines depending on where we are going so never build up enough to really make that much of a difference. Whilst you have celebrities flying in from all round the world first class protesting about climate change I also see no reason why I should change my habits. Have they not heard about video conference calling.

We'd still take the same number of flights but without our avios and our Amex 241 vouchers it would be a lot more economy and a lot less club

[dippiedawnie]

Wouldn't make a difference for us but as others have said we may do more economy rather than premium! We would maybe be more likely to shop around rather than stick to one carrier

We fly at most three times per year, mostly once, so frequent flyer programmes don't really add up to much now.
Our BA Executive is kept active by TESCO Clubcard, our VA was receiving points from Shell Drivers Club, until that stopped with Shell Go. We've lost our VA points this month.

So, no, stopping flyer programmes won't make any difference to us.

Massively ramping aviation taxes will affect us, and that's where we are heading with Greta, Extinction Rebellion, and the other eco-fascists and globalists dressed up as Quatermass & The Planet People.

You could have used your Tesco Club card to keep the VA points live. We switch who we allocate our points to ours every 3 - 6 months.

Thanks.
Yes, we (I !) slipped up there tbh.

With travelling less, some of the loyalty programmes are being let go Instead of juggling stuff to keep them active.
The ones we have kept are mostly the ones that don't expire.
Possibly the opposite of what they hope, not that they will be bothered.
VA is one we should have kept but hey-ho.

As I have never owned a car and never driven, can I offset my carbon against my flying?
