BA AMS-JNB-AMS in J $1500/€1275

Seeing sub $1500 RT fares thru middle of October. I searched on Google flights with fair availability in Jan/Feb and great availability through October.

Books into I class.

Booked on A380 for a week in March. Hope this is of value to someone.

Seems to have been around for a while, also with onwards connections to Cape Town. Leaving on the weekend on a £1,120 fare AMS-LHR-JNB-CPT-JNB-LHR-AMS fare which also nets 440tps

You should also be able to book the last segment as LGW-AMS in case you wish to cross London

It vanished for awhile and was nervous I missed it. Came back yesterday and wanted to share for people in the same situation as me!

Thanks!

I apologize for not specifying which particular fare I was asking about in my previous post. It's the 1,120EURO fare that I would like a link to as I'm seeing prices in the 1550EURO range.

I think it was a part of the sale they ran on 8/1. Checked the following day and say similar range as you saying.

If I booked this flight, AMS -> LHR -> JNB return and didn't take the final leg, LHR to AMS, would BA still post the tier points and airmiles?

I’d not do this regularly

And if checked luggage then make the final leg from LCY or LGW

I read the post a little too quickly and thought he was asking specifically about the last leg.

Sorry for not replying earlier as I am in sunny Cape Town now. The fare I got was a £1,120 - in Pounds and not in Euros (although it was probably quoted in Euros but I paid that 1,120.00 in Pounds). Unfortunately I have no link to that fare any longer as it was booked a while back.

Some great fares from ATH and LCA to CPT too - about €1300 and picks up the extra TPs for the European legs.

[UPDATE] Managed €1490 ATH-LHR-JNB-CPT return with some useful layovers for a family birthday in London and meetings in Joburg outbound, festive drinks in Joburg and family dinner in London inbound. 520 TPs and over 42k Avios earned. Very chuffed.
