The BA Dream Ticket meet-up thread (aka LHR-CPT F Companion Fare)
 
I thought it would be a good idea since everyone is jumping on this deal to track who has taken the dream ticket offer and see if there is a potential date for a meet up/DO in CPT for some FT-ers! :)

January 2019
11/01 - LHR-CPT flylikelinz +1
18/01 - CPT-LHR flylikelinz +1

maybe one of the mods can turn this into a wiki?

very excited!!! :D

The background to this can currently be seen by this link:
https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb.../dream-tickets

and within that there there is a special offer LHR to Cape Town, with a flight price of £4,052 per couple (£2,026 per person) in First class is subject to limited availability. The T&Cs are below, with the key one being: "Flights must be booked between 12:00 GMT 4 July 2018 and 23:59 GMT 18 July 2018 (the “Booking Period”) for selected travel between 01 January 2019 to 31 March 2019. All travel must be completed by 31 March."

There are some very cheap European flights on offer too, such as £28 fares to Grenoble (though it was advertised as Lyon, somewhat Ryanairesque).

Wikis do not need a Moderator to be created, indeed the whole principle is that it is crowd-sourced.

Nice offer, but can’t really )ustify doing it. We’re already doing CPT in Dec, and PHX in Feb and this would take us waaaaay over Gold renewal. Damn!!

im already planning to go in November 2019 for my birthday but an offer like this is too good to refuse!

Updated wiki! Really excited for both my first visit to South Africa and also my first First!

Note: the offer is far far better during the flash sale until 10th July. Add car hire for a week and you'll get a further £555 off, taking the total to £3582 total. i.e. each First seat costs under £900 per passenger in each direction...

TravellerFrequently Jul 8, 2018 3:22 pm

Flights booked for January!

Will ask for the days off tomorrow....

perfect since you need a car for CPT anyway. Also buy now pay later with just a £450 deposit

Yes flights and car hire booked for Mrs Skyflier and myself dep Feb 5th.1A and 2A locked in both ways. Tier points will help towards Gold renewal. Looking forward to Feb.

Have mine booked for March. Cannot wait, it’ll be our first First after years of “suffering” in Club

escape2sun Jul 9, 2018 2:41 am

Was planning to book QR, but this was a lot cheaper, so Mrs E2S and me are off in Jan 1AK

My niece & her hubby have booked for March - no status, so they have 5A/4A. They have always travelled at the back of the bus, so an absolute treat for them, pity CPT goes from T3, as I'm sure they would have loved using the CR

Genius!

Took me a while to find it, but got there in the end. ^

How do you add on car hire to make it cheaper?

Looking at doing this for my 30th, Saturday 2nd Flight out direct to LHR -CPT and Monday 11th Flight home CPT - JHN - LHR

Thanks
