I've got a 2xF booking in March LHR-CPT, but don't need the Tier Points now. Pondering a similar idea: ditch the £400 deposit (sad face) and opt for Club seats instead using Avios. Problem being it's LHR-JNB-CPT only on the redemption (which I could get for 168000 Avios and £1400-ish).
I could certainly save cash, but then I'm holding onto Avios for 'the Australia dream', so not sure if it's a savvy idea.
