With travel grounded, could your Avios be used to stock up your wine cellar instead? My own self-isolation started a good week ahead of any government-issued edicts and was brought about, not by the rampant global spread of a particularly contagious virus, but rather good old-fashion redundancy.
This was sadly following the closure of the world’s finest watch magazine, QP, which I was fortunate enough to edit these past four years.
With evidence of unprecedented quarantine measures on the horizon and the kind of lazy reassurance offered by a redundancy settlement, I set about battening down the hatches and taking stock of the resources open to us as a family.
