VS v BA Prices

Looking today at prices an options for a business trip to Dubai. Given recent cutbacks we are lucky to get approval to fly PE.

Seems to be a huge difference between BA and VS this time round.

Guess I will be breaking my long standing use of VS for long haul

As BA have more than1 flight a day to/from DXB they have more capacity on that route and thus the cheaper fares take longer to sell out.

The cheaper fares on VS will have likely already been sold.

Plenty of K and H availability in PE showing on a load check.

Anyway, as much as it pains me to miss a trip to Clubhouse, earn TPs etc I'm booked on BA. On a positive note as least it is not a night flight as that is a killer for me to be expected to go straight to the office!
