Is anyone else here an Airmiles collector?
If so then come 16 November you'll no longer collect Airmiles, but Avios(es?), and you'll also wave goodbye to completely free flights as you'll be charged for all fees, taxes, airport surcharges etc on top of spending your points.

I've only been collecting Airmiles for about a year, if that, and I've got a tally of ~1,200. I do only plan on using them to fly to Europe so the £27 flat fee isn't too bad, but still a shame.
I know lots of people are spending their miles before the change and before they devalue, and you have up until 16 November (online) or 16 December (phone) to do this.
