Cash booking in to WTP and UuA in to CW is £939 + 25k avios.
All the above quotes are for 1 person.
Thanks KARFA, yes I was looking at Kingston. I wonder why my taxes for 1 person came out at over £800?
Either way I look at it, this doesn't seem good value for money. Looking at Capetown however shows much better value as the CW ticket price is far more expensive for the same tax, from what I could see. I guess I need to do LOTS more research into routes and prices. I don't particularly value my Avios very highly as I would pay those sort of CW prices to Jamaica in cash. Hmm, I'm beginning to wonder whether the 241 is as valuable as I first thought?
That aside, I am enjoying playing the points game and earning as many Avios as I can right now
