Thanks roarss and well done!
Interestingly, I could only get it to work when booking 2 tickets. (Edit: I now see that was the point; one doesn't have a lot of reading time in these situations....!)
On a completely unrelated matter, anyone got any ideas what to do for 4 days in Durban at the beginning of December...?

I managed to get this for £956 each through OTA yesterday - very pleased to get around £100 off the BA.com price and it's all gone through and ticketed, seats booked!
These fares are cheaper than W cabin - I wonder how well this route is doing and the longevity of it ...

Thanks to the OP! Booked for first week in December immediately after supper last night after I gained approval from the E-i-C. Burnt some Avios to reduce the cost and used PayPal credit for 4 months interest free payment terms.
The CWS-started guide (New BA Routes 2018: Durban, KwaZulu-Natal (DUR)) has some useful intel on the surrounding area so thanks, as always, to him and other contributors.
Having missed used out on the LatAm GIG Offer a few weeks ago am pleased to have got this one in the bag.

Having just returned from Durban and knowing the area reasonably well there is lots you all could do . There are many superb national parks within an easy drive , St Lucia, Tembe, Ndumu, Mkuze , Umfolozi etc. Also the Drakensburg and battlefields . Also some lovely coastal towns such as salt rock where we saw whale sharks . You won’t be short of things to do .

Congratulations to the quick-fingered 6 (?) who have dived in!
Brings back happy memories of a couple of trips (our first HNL and CPT) where the FT community enabled us to make a giant leap for T-kind!
