Air Miles gives away 500,000 flights

Air Miles is giving away 500,000 British Airways flights to more than 80 destinations.

Air Miles claims it's the biggest flight promotion the UK has seen.

Capital FM DJ Neil Fox and model Lucy Clarkson launched the deal on a man-made beach outside House of Fraser's Oxford Street store in London.

Drew Thomson, managing director of Air Miles, says: "The Great Air Miles Giveaway is great news for the half a million people who will fly to their dream destination either free or for less Air Miles than ever before."

He adds: "The amount of Air Miles needed to travel has been reduced by up to 75% to over 80 worldwide destinations, including Rome, Hong Kong, and even New York on Concorde."
