Thanks, I guess BHX out and LHR back would be a interesting combo if I train. I am flying economy unfortunately, isn't work so cant go for the usual business class.

I am tempted by the idea of the BA lounge, I was only thinking same airport as it would be easier if I decided to drive and park at airport. Gatwick was more of a longer journey back but was actually a lot cheaper then LHR. Would have saved me £50 but that would have gone in travel time.

I have to book this evening as I am told the pricing reduction in place goes back up tomorrow evening. Etihad etc have my flights for £548 where as EK us £388 per person or there about depending on where I fly from.
