You must know something I don't! Can't get it near £200.
Another very good deal for highlanders is the new 12 hours in Amsterdam for £99. Take the early flight to AMS and the evening flight back. Could be a nice trip for some.

Yes, I've had a few scary ones on that A9 north of Inverness. Interesting that you have a connection, Sealink, to Caithness. My folk were from there too, but since they're no longer alive I don't get up there very often these days. We were in Bower for years, then moved to Dunnet with its wonderful beach.
I could really used this connectivity at Inverness airport back in the day.

It's not traditionally beautiful but the sky there is something else.
I've been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights there too.
When I first lived there the Bower Inn was my local, sadly it's long gone.
Dunnet now houses a fantastic gin and vodka distillery! Rock Rose Gin is excellent .

The fact that yesterday I could have bought a weekend (this weekend!) ticket to New York for 200+ pounds is simply mindblowing.
Today, KLM stepped up the game and is now offering fares for 255 gbp directly on their website, 225 gbp on Momondo and possibly lower on other OTA sites.

No issues, GetAFlight took my Exec Club number and the flights appeared on the BA app instantly, with seats allocated etc. The GetAFlight confirmation also included the airline booking reference.

Momondo directed me to GetAFlight - when I tried searching directly on GetAFlight the fare didn't appear. 😮

sorry for the questions - the online reviews of 'those sort of OTA's' suggest they issue a PNR but then call either straight away or a day or two later and explain that fare is gone....
just trying to figure out if these fares are bookable and who to use.

Whenever I use these types of agents who manually issue the ticket, I just call up after paying online and ask them to issue it there and then over the phone. Never had any issues.
