By comparison Abuja, Accra, Lagos, Entebbe all top £3k but are shorter routes than MRU which is typically priced at £2k (£1700 in sales and got it for £1500 3 years ago).
Part of me was hoping they would offer First, priced as keenly as their CW offer (ie. cheaper than your average F flight) as I've never flown in the class before
I had my first First the other week when I got Op-Up'd on the way to EWR, we got OF but it was still nice, definitely something to try even though I wouldn't hesitate upgrading with miles from CW to F! If you fancy trying F, why not fly in via JNB and then take the direct flight back from MRU-LGW in Club or the other way around?
F surely was a nice way to start a long weekend in NYC!
