Just noticed that our UC seats LGW to MBJ 26 March & MBJ to LGW 6 April has suddenly dropped to £1,279.87 return! An absolute bargain if you fancy a last minute get away!
This fare is less than the 2x M class fares I paid & then had to use miles to upgrade to U|C ?|

There's an UC sale on, to compete with BA's CW & F sale. Until March 11 I think.

That may be true, but Montego Bay isn't listed as one of the sale fares, so a nice reveal. If I see that price again, I might consider it. It doesn't suit me at the moment, but I'd take this far more than the 1K club to Kingston that BA puts out occasionally...

Hmmmn, Kingston seems to be around that price for BA, I hope VS is matching Montego Bay to their Kingston fares.

Might have something to do with what I said the plane has changed from a lgw 747 with 14 upper seats to the LHR with considerable more seats due to maintenance on that route

That's why it is great that have this competition between our two national airlines. I have just bagged 16 CW to beaches Ocho Rios for £1890 a person including 10 nights all inclusive . Would have tried VS but UC cabin only caters for 14.

Better to give it them with a warm hand than let the revenue have IHT. And yes that was the price inc flights.

BA holidays, the party includes 7 kids so that is average price. The adult price us £2100 but still cheaper than the normal CW far.also because we have got nearly max occupancy in rooms this brings the price down. Add in the 49,000 bongs Avios as well not a bad deal.

Giving away bongs? That explains what they were smoking when they came up with that price.
A bargain whichever way up you look at it..
