News in brief:
Qatar Airways Business Class deals from Edinburgh
Qatar Airways appears keen to build up interest in its Edinburgh service.
There are some good deals bookable before 21st October. These are valid for travel at any point in the next year, subject to occasional black out dates.
Edinburgh to Dubai is £1,250 in Business Class – a decent price. Most of Asia and South Africa is around £1,800 – £1,900.
Until 18th October (tomorrow!), these combine with the NEWLOOK2015 promo code. This takes the fare down to £1,156 for Edinburgh to Dubai.
To put these deals in context, the best sale deal on Qatar from Manchester to Dubai is currently £1,860!
You earn Avios and BA tier points when you fly Qatar and the Edinburgh service is operated with a new Boeing 787 featuring the latest business class seat which I reviewed here. It is an impressive 1-2-1 layout.
You can see details of the Edinburgh deals on this page of the Qatar website.
Tesco running a one month free trial of Delivery Saver
This is slightly off topic for HfP but – given the Clubcard link to Avios and Virgin, and the fact that it is the weekend – worth a quick mention.
Tesco is currently offering a one-month free trial of Delivery Saver. This allows you to receive your online grocery deliveries free of charge (minimum spend £40). You also get all of your Tesco Direct orders delivered for free via their ‘next day delivery’ service (minimum spend £10), free delivery on Tesco Wine and F&F orders and first dibs at selecting delivery slots in the run up to Christmas.
You can sign up via this link. You need to make a note in your diary to cancel after the one month trial is up, otherwise you will begin to be charged the standard fee of £3 to £6 per month.
