The UK is one of the most magical places in the world, and a country that you can keep going back to. Incredible landscapes and countryside, historical cities, and beautiful architecture.
Miles & points are a great way to explore this country.
However, one thing that the #ccgeeks & the #milesfreaks cannot help but keep getting smacked on the face with is - fees.
These charges on award tickets for a trip to the UK can potentially be as high as an economy revenue ticket.
So, what can be done? Let's see. ๐
