@VerdantBacon BA’s SYD redemption seems to have improved – for the moment – with new 241 extra availability departing from the regions and nations of the UK.
And the benefit of the new long-haul RFS is you can go from Edinburgh, Newcastle or Manchester for the same price as Inverness – so no need to travel so far to save the APD!
