  Aircraft type is a 3 class 777-200 with a 48/24/203 split according to the GDS.

    Said ER in the press release albeit not the variant – is there a 200er?

    • JamesLHR says:

      BA have the 777-200, 777-200ER and 777-300ER in their fleet.

      The LGW fleet are all 777-200ER aircraft, with the 777-300ER fleet solely based at LHR.

  I can only see 2 dates available in CW going out in Dec and 1 date in Jan!
  They can’t have all gone already?

    Looking in res, I could only find 5 dates through to March next year that show UCL listed and shown as U2. All the other flights exclude UL which is when redemption fares are sold out.

    Not sure if it is the BA standard to remove UCL when all are gone from the reservations listing?

  On a detail, SA is TWO hours ahead of GMT during the European winter, still negligible compared wiith west coast UA, Oz, etc of course.

  SA doesn’t observe daylight saving time, so is one hour ahead in our winter and two hours ahead in our summer.

    Not quite correct…

    South Africa is two hours ahead during the UK winter and one hour ahead during the UK summer (when we put our clocks forward by an hour).

      Sorry! That’s what I was trying to say.

      I should know as we’re flying CPT-LHR tonight, 2 hours ahead now but 1 hour behind when e arrive. 🙂

  I saw this yesterday lunchtime as my wife and I were planning a trip next Feb and to my surprise there were flights with availability (I had been warned of the difficulty of using a companion voucher to get to Cape Town). I came home to look at flights with my wife in the evening and by then ALL the new flights out of LGW for Jan and Feb in CW had gone!

  Yes the outbound CW reward seats in January have all gone. There are 2 dates on the inbound to LGW from CPT with CW reward seat avaialbilty when I looked 5 minutes ago. There are some WT reward seats available but I don’t wish to go that much!

  I shall stick with my CW seats in January to Tampa and enjoy the Florida Gulf Coast instead.
