Rotting in Rotterdam, life so far has been rain, canals, late-night fries, and an unshakable love for bitterballen. Somehow, it feels like home. 💛

✈️ How I Got a Flight to New York from £34 in Tesco Clubcard Vouchers (+ FREE 5,000 Virgin Points Bonus!)

Yes, really. My boring weekly Tesco shop (and, let’s be honest, a shameful number of baked beans) just booked me a Premium Economy seat to New York on Virgin Atlantic. ✈️🇺🇸

Here’s how 👇
Tesco Clubcard lets you auto-exchange points into Virgin Points, and for a limited time (until 20 July 2025) they’re throwing in a 5,000 Virgin Points bonus if you set it up!

🛒 £34 in Clubcard vouchers = 6,900 Virgin Points
🎁 Add the free 5,000 bonus = 11,900 Virgin Points
💺 That’s enough for a Premium Economy flight to NYC (I just booked it!)

💡 Want to grab your 5,000 bonus Virgin Points?
Here’s what to do:

Sign into your Tesco Clubcard account
Go to Voucher Schemes and choose Virgin Points
Turn on Auto-Convert
Make sure you have at least 250 points by 20 July 2025
Wait for your FREE 5,000 Virgin Points to drop in August

🕐 Deadline: 20 July 2025
🎉 Bonus: You could even win 1 MILLION Virgin Points. Just for converting your points. Madness.
💺 This whole trick got me a £900+ flight for just £34 in Tesco vouchers + taxes.
🍷 I’ll be stretching out in Premium Economy with free drinks, real cutlery and extra legroom.
💳 And you can do it too.

📲 I’ve written a full breakdown on how I did it, how many beans you’d need for Upper Class, and where I’m staying in NYC:

12 Months. 36 Lounges. 1 Very Well-Fed Traveller.

If you’ve ever paid £7 for a bottle of airport water and questioned your life choices, this post is for you. 💸✈️

Last year, I finally gave in and got a Priority Pass. One year later, I’ve become a lounge regular!

✅ 36 lounge visits
✅ £1,620 saved on overpriced airport snacks
✅ 1 traumatic experience at Manchester T1 Escape Lounge
✅ Countless plates of pasta, croissants, and champagne flutes 🍝🥐🍾

Would I do it again? Absolutely. Even if it’s just to avoid lurking near a bin for a charging point.

You don’t need to fly business class to feel like a VIP. You just need a bit of planning… and this magical pass that makes airport chaos somebody else’s problem.

I’ve scored an exclusive 30% off Priority Pass membership – and it’s helped me fly like a VIP all year long (without the business class price tag).

👉 Head to my blog to grab the offer and see why I rate it so highly. Will pop it into the comments section FYI

China Southern Airlines Business Class Review: Worth It or Nah?

I recently flew from Beijing to Sydney via Shenzhen in China Southern’s business class—and wow, it was a trip of contrasts.

✅ Highlights:

Surprise upgrade to a sleek A350 for the first leg (comfort + epic IFE).
Visa-free transit in China = massive perk for international travelers.
Service? Genuinely warm and professional across both flights.
❌ Not-so-great moments:

The older A330 on the second leg felt dated.
Catering? Great if you love Chinese cuisine. If not… meh.
Nightmare with the Australian ETA & online check-in. China’s internet is not traveler-friendly!
💼 Pro tips: ✔️ Pack a VPN & eSIM or risk serious stress. ✔️ Use an AirTag to track your luggage—mine had its own mini adventure in Shenzhen 😅.

💬 Have you flown with China Southern Airlines before? 💬 Would you choose them over other Asian carriers? 💬 How do YOU feel about transiting in China?
