Deals of the month - Aug (45% bonus Avios, £217 return to NYC + More)

It has been a quiet year so far in regards to cheap business class flights and holiday deals, the British Airways sale has been overwhelmingly disappointing and Qatar are yet to release a 2 for 1 business class offer in 2018. On top of this, with the diminishing value of the pound and the cracking weather back home in the UK there just hasn't been a large appetite for travel this summer. But all that is about to change as the rain has arrived (in Scotland anyways) and that realisation that we don't actually live in a hot country is starting to settle in! So without further delay, here are my top picks out there in the travel world right now that will help you forget all about the rain.
