    LHR - CPT

    Dep 5th Oct 09 (+/- 1 Day)
    Rtn 19th Oct 09 (+/- 1 Day

    2 Adults

    Best so far:

    Emirates via Dubai First class = £1673.50pp - Opodo

    Emirates via Dubai Buisness class = £1573.50pp - Opodo

    SAA (Direct), Business class = £2350.00pp - Travel agent

    BA (Direct), Business class = £3052.00pp - Opodo

    Virgin (Direct), Premium Economy = £1385.00pp - Expedia

    BA (Direct), World Trav Plus = £1178.00pp - Opodo

    I would prefer to go business class and direct.

    Thanks for your time,

    Chris
