Well this decision is annoying. Am due to visit twice this year as Oilfield trash!

seems a strange decision as it’s always a busy flight as I understand. For those unfamiliar with Angolan visas from the UK don’t pay attention to apparent availability until T-72. On a visitor Visa from UK you have to enter Angola within 72 hours of receiving it so these flights are a last minute (airline profit making) scramble with high ticket rates. The Visa system for this country leaves a lot to be desired if you are a UK Citizen. The only people who can really properly plan flights on discounted fares that aren’t Angolan Nationals are those with official work Visas.

personally I would have thought BA were making a mint on this route despite the downturn in O&G. And oils back up at $80 and there are some decent projects progressing there....
