Found an interesting flight + hotel deal. LHR-HEL-LHR in Club for 17/18 November... as suggested, last flight Saturday night, airport hotel, then first flight back Sunday
There seems to be a weird quirk on the BA site where the price kept jumping up and down. Cheapest offer I was shown was GBP 296 but got an error message before I booked. Successfully booked at GBP 345
Hi
Grimes. Welcome to FT!
Thanks for posting. HEL can offer decent deals sometimes - in the recent CE sale I think it was bookable for around £230 rtn in CE for 160 TPs. Also often if you do a holiday booking it can be cheaper than buying flights and hotels separately. Looking forward to more contributions to the thread from you. There are also a few other threads on FT covering cheaper fares from slightly different angles which you may wish to keep an eye on - there is a list in post 1.
