Product Information

Do note that in some cases LifeMiles doesn’t have access to the same award availability as Star Alliance partners, for better or worse. Sometimes LifeMiles doesn’t have access to partner awards that other programs do have access to, and other times the inverse is true. As a Titanium member with a co-branded credit card, I ordinarily earn 23.5x Bonvoy points per dollar spent. At a valuation of 0.7 cents per point, that’s like a ~16% return on hotel spending. Blue Palace Elounda, Greece Bottom line In addition to seeing some adjustments to the APD amounts, another major change as of April 2023 is that we’ve seen the introduction of a new domestic pricing band, as well as the introduction of a new ultra long haul pricing band.

Some frequent flyer programs allow stopovers, so you can use those strategically; for example, Air Canada Aeroplan allows stopovers for 5,000 points one-way, so you could fly from London to Copenhagen to New York with a stopover of just over 24 hours in Copenhagen, and then you’d only have to pay the short haul APD rather than the long haul APD Are you flying from New York to London to Paris, and are connecting in London for under 24 hours? You won’t have to pay the APD At the point in your itinerary where you’ve been in London for over 24 hours, you’ll be embarking on an itinerary of under 2,000 miles (to Paris), rather than an itinerary of over 2,000 miles (to New York). Are you flying from London to Amsterdam to Los Angeles, with a connection of over 24 hours in Amsterdam? You’ll pay the short haul APD For these purposes, a premium cabin would include anything other than economy, so it includes premium economy, business class, and first class

Furthermore, if you want to visit London but only briefly, try to plan a stopover of just under 24 hours. That way you can avoid paying the UK APD altogether, all while still visiting the UK for a bit. Mix economy & business class You can earn up to 6x Bonvoy points per dollar spent on most co-branded Marriott cards, including the the Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card( review) and Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card( review) There’s no real way to “beat” the UK Air Passenger Duty, though there are some ways to minimize it, or at least be strategic about it. Different people will have different takes on the extent to which these strategies are worth it, but I figure they’re at least worth pointing out. Let me give a few examples. Plan your stopover strategically The distance isn’t measured between your origin and destination, but rather between London and the capital city of the country you’re traveling to Otherwise, you can earn up to 3x transferable points on hotel spending (with Amex Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, or Citi ThankYou)

The UK APD applies based on whether you have a flight itinerary originating in the UK; an itinerary is considered to be originating in the UK if you’re on the ground there for more than 24 hours Understandably there’s confusion about under what circumstances the UK Air Passenger Duty applies, so let me try to break it down as simply as possible: Marriott Bonvoy has launched its final promotion for 2023, so make sure you register. With this, members can earn 1,500 bonus points for every paid stay, starting with the first stay. On top of that, they can earn 3,000 bonus points for every three brands they stay at.The promotion is valid for stays between September 12 and December 6, 2023, regardless of when they’re booked By the time Schlappig launched the blog, he had already become obsessed with travel. He had been flying between the U.S. and his family’s original home in Germany since he was a kid, and he was only 14 when he started taking interest in credit cards, miles, and points. It does nothing to encourage airlines to invest in more efficient aircraft, since you’d think that would be a consideration in terms of emissions That extreme level of engagement has led to the platform’s continuing evolution. In 2015, one post attracted so much attention that the platform couldn’t handle it. The team created a forum to contain some traffic to a subdomain while giving users a Reddit-style structure for earning status points based on participation. The UK Air Passenger Duty amount is broken down based on the distance you’re flying, and the class of service you’re flying in. There are four different pricing bands, and here’s the pricing as of April 1, 2023:

If you upgrade your seat the higher UK APD applies, which is why many airlines will request a co-pay when upgrading a flight out of the UK (to account for this cost) That’s the tone we’ve tried to keep with OMAAT as it’s grown over the past 15 years,” Funk said. “It’s a community, not a top-down, super-corporate, venture-owned type of thing. It’s Ben.”

If this is about the environment, you’d think transit passengers would be on the hook for this, since they have an even bigger environmental impact when taking two flights While only some airlines add fuel surcharges (like British Airways), all airlines have to charge their passengers originating in the UK the Air Passenger Duty. Just to give an example of that, say you’re redeeming American AAdvantage miles for business class travel between London and New York. LifeMiles don’t expire as long as you accrue some miles at least once every 12 months. Any mileage earning activity, including buying miles, will extend the expiration of your miles. However, redeeming miles as such doesn’t extend the expiration of your miles. Redeem LifeMiles for Turkish business class How else can you earn LifeMiles?

Fuel surcharges are imposed directly by airlines, and are a junk fee that has nothing to do with the governmentHopefully, that clears up any confusion regarding the distinction between the UK APD and fuel surcharges. Flights may be subjected to the UK APD and high fuel surcharges Are there any ways to minimize the UK APD? With a specific use in mind, this LifeMiles promotion can be a great value, whether you’re looking at traveling first class on All Nippon Airways or Lufthansa, or are looking at traveling in business class on a countless number of airlines. Redeem LifeMiles for All Nippon Airways first class Many consumers desire transparency in business transactions, but that can be difficult to come by online. When money is involved, companies can often be opaque when encouraging people to part with it.
