Thanks - we did look at them but their prices were coming out at £5,800 for two of us return (£6,000 direct from SAA) instead of £3,900. If you have come accross them cheaper I would be interexted to hear where

Thanks again

I'll be amazed if SAA come in cheaper for Business. Your BA fares are a special that expire early March (so take note!), and considerably cheaper than SAA and Virgin for a direct flight.

The only Business Class fare that is considerably cheaper is Emirates at around £3400 for the two of you. Of course it's a detour (hardly in a straight line London - Dubai - Cape Town) but it's business class, available, and saves you £500. Plus you get UK airport limo transfers (within mileage limitations) so you don't have to worry about parking etc.

Tickets available at all usual outlets...

Yes, we know about the special offer fares...planning on booking it in the next 36 hours.

We have looked at Emirates, and as you say, we would save a few hundred pounds, but have to transfer and end up with a much longer journey.

I checked in the Chaufer drive too...only applies within 50 miles of the airport, so for us we would have to pay about £350 excess for it! - I think the train will be taking the strain for that part of the journey
