Many thanks for all your replies, especially Cavorting Cheetah for you detailed insight and my wife sends her thanks.
I would advise you not to show this post to your lady love, assuming that's your wife of course, if you wish to save £1,000.
Too late ……. I’ve sent her the link
Well the plot does thicken somewhat as I spoke to her earlier and she has SAA flights on hold (that was before I sent her the link). Apparently the SAA flight is ~ £2000 ………..But, the BA flight is £4800 !!! Furthermore, it is the SAA flight that is direct NOT the BA as I had previously thought !!
Also, the links from firstchoice7e7 do have some favourable feedback on the main, particularly
SAA South African Airways Business Class seat reviews
So what’s a girl to do !? She (we) aren’t paying for the flight, but her company is, however, I doubt given the cost differential she’ll be able to justify BA !
If she does go SAA, maybe I’ll post how she found it afterwards !!
Thanks once again.
Cheers,
CG.
