Welcome to Flyertalk khandheria, and welcome to the BA Board. You have absolutely come to the right place, and if you haven't found a set of dates that works for you by all means consider a Gold Priority Reward. If conventional availability shows up a day or more before departure - and availability in the 2-4 days timeframe is quite common - you can cancel the GPR and book the normal redemption. That said, BA's routes to SA are often very full. Don't overlook the LGW-CPT and the Iberia services too.
And congratulations on 5000 posts, HilFly, your contributions here are always worth reading.
Thank you for your kind words, c-w-s. My post count would have been a lot higher but I could never get a word in edgeways for T8191 & Hiddy!
I don't know why I started to put the number at the bottom of the significant number posts - maybe ready for the day that I put all my posts into bestselling book form
