Out
wanted to book today for March as I’ll be in EBB but fares again over 4K... 
((
are there frequently some good offers from EBB or was that just a coincidence?
I wanted to book this offer to reach my gold status at the executive club.
Thanks for your help :-)

so I managed to book this deal but after looking at the visa options the single entry obviously wont work as I will have to get to EBB clear immigration to get the luggage and then go back through. This process will need to be done twice both on the outbound and inbound leg so I am assuming the single entry visit wont work?

Do not forget you need a yellow fever card. they get checked by Port Health before you proceed to the immigration desks.
No transit channel at EBB.

Visa on arrival costs USD 50 and takes about 5 minutes (apart from queuing). Do not be bothered with the e-Visa offered, in my recent experience they first attend to all VoA passengers before they start serving the e-Visa queue.

There IS an airside transit in EBB but I'm not sure if you'd be allowed to use it without an onward boarding pass... and no chance if you have to collect and recheck luggage.
Given the luggage allowance on a J ticket*, I'd be putting all the bags into your name if at all possible, and trying to send spouse and kid via the airside channel.
* 65kg each ex-Africa, plus 15kg for your QR Gold card

Having been to EBB about 5 times in the last 12 months, I would not hesitate doing that.
