Hmm, I was toying with the idea of trading up my family SFO trip from J to F - but seating on the outbound will be an issue (we'd need 4/5AK), and the taxes and surcharges have almost doubled since the original booking! The kids are young - we'll survive in J, I think!

Booked 2 J to Cape Town for next November and 2 J to Istanbul for May - these are flights we were going to do anyway. Used Ms Raffles account as she is Eurocheat and has no access to a 2-4-1.
Frustrating that one-ways are not included as I have 4 J seats NYC-LHR on Lufthansa that I would happily have changed back - but I'm not willing to give up the LH First Class Terminal on the way out, especially as my party of 4 are now expecting it!

If you have something in mind, get in quickly. I assume this is going to seriously kill award seat availability for a long time...
It's a great deal. But I have no reason right now to burn just for the sake of it...almost feel guilty for not taking advantage! It does work OK with 241s (as noted) and GUFs too. If EC was included I'd have opted for a ORY-JFK to try them, but other than that, I'm just watching everyone else have fun for now

Is everybody definitely sure that this is compatible with the two for one because if so I am going to have to cancel and rebook my next trip partly to save a bunch of miles and partly because it means I can go out and back in F instead of F out J back.
The trouble is I'm going to have to wait for the miles to recredit and voucher to activate before I book and if that takes ages I'm going to be having a heart attack as I watch redemtion availability plummet.
What to you think?

Edit: I see that G-BOAC also confirms it works with 2 for 1s but it looks like he hasn't actually bought any tickets yet. Has anyone else successfully bought and paid for tickets?

A-a-a-argh!
I've suspended spending on my BA Amex as I didn't want to trigger the 2-4-1 until as close as possible to early February. Now I have until the 28th to book a 2-4-1 at 50% off if I understand corectly.
If I spend enough today to trigger the 2-4-1, how long before I can redeem it, i.e. will it be before the 28th?
[Thinks: probably easier to book now without the voucher, then book again in February ...]

I'm not going to risk cancelling a 2 for 1 booking to CPT in F only to re-book as have a non-refundable hotel for my folks booked. Too risky.
