worth noting, if you don't take the final leg of the trip ie LON-OSL you may not get any tier points or avios credited to your exec club account :man: good price though

Or your luggage :laughing:

Amazing price for proper business class.

Yeah that's a possible downside but even when skipping the last leg of flights I always get point credited for the flights I have taken. If it was me and just add on an Avios flight with BA as the points you are getting just for taking the London to Oslo leg make it worthwhile.

Hi
Can anybody help me re stopovers. I have entered multi cities one Booker website and price jumps up. Is there a better way of requesting a stopover so that the price does not jump £5/600?

Stopover

Thank you

Avios flights are a great way to connect to these ex-eu priced flights. Just make sure your connecting time is realistic as you will sometimes have to go through immigration, and always have to collect your bags and check-in again :wink:

If they're BA flights too sometimes I've had my luggage checked through to my final destination if you ask the check in staff nicely.

I'd be surprised if BA would allow you to check in luggage from LHR-OSL-LHR-HKG/SYD as they would be on 2 seperate PNR's ...not that I work for them or anything like that :wink:

Be aware that BA Business Class is not very good... hubby had a broken TV all the way from the UK to Oz in Business Class & they refused to fix it or move him yet the girl sitting beside him had one that worked fine & had been upgraded for free from Economy so had not even paid for it but got better service. You also get put in opposing pods unless you sit in the very middle so not very good for people who want to travel as a couple. On the flipside we flew Premium Economy with BA to the UK & had the best flight ever... got the front seats with all the leg room & were sandwiched between First & Business which made for a very enjoyable flight :smile: Only downside was having to pay a little extra for our extra bags as we were relocating but we pre-booked them online & it was very reasonable.

Nice one!

I think you'll be hard pushed to find anyone on here sympathising that BA business is not very good based on one of the reasons being opposing pods.

Compared to other business class offerings, BA scores quite highly. If you're expecting more 'Wolf of Wall Street', maybe you should opt for private jet.

I recently flew business Lon to Rio and found it fine. On the way out I had the centre 2 pods to myself, ideal for couples, or a bonus if traveling alone. On my I return I was in a single, however if you wished to speak with your partner it's not like your separated by a brick wall. Great price! If i was not already going to Vegas and Peru with work in March I would be considering a trip down under at these prices and if I was going, I would be booking this in a heartbeat. I would not be able to justify the extra cost just to go with Emirates or Singapore. Well spotted Rachel.

Nice find! Love these ex-EU deals! Heat from me.

Nothing wrong with BA business at all - recently done a trip to Rio and also a trip to New York in club without issue.

Heathrow - Oslo is 13-15K avios, not 35k Rachel. It's only about £26 in charges too if you book this as 2 one way journeys rather than a return. If you haven't got the avios, I'd suggest BA/SAS/Norwegian to Gardermoen rather than messing around with Ryanair - quite time consuming and expensive to get from from Rygge or Torp up to Gardermoen.

Oh I just plugged a return flight into my exec club and that's the details it gave me. Is a return flight so is more miles but less £.

If you have/are exchanging Tesco for Avios I believe there is a bonus on at the moment too.

I did get my luggage checked in once when I had a long haul booking from Spain and had used Avios to get from Manchester to Spain (via London). It was not Australia though, perhaps I was lucky!

I'm tempted to book this myself but I have no leave and other trips planned....

Not finding these at this price at all, can anyone help me out?

Getting these at £983.82 pp in Economy and Business class is £2603.62 pp (with the stopover in HKG)

Is it only certain legs of the journey in business class?

Thanks

Also whilst on the subject of business travel. Priced up a trip from Manchester/London to Vietnam return, late April - May for £1700 with emeriates (a380/b777-300er). Economy was around £440-460. Ebookers/flight scanner /opodo all similar prices.

seems to have expired. can find them at this price :-(

Yet another stupid Airline 'deal' where you have to get yourself to another country to take advantage of it. This site is called HotUKDeals, note the UK bit. This is NOT a UK deal.
Check out the flight times - 07.25 out of Oslo and nearly 32hrs flight time back to Oslo and to suggest that one could live out of cabin luggage for 3 weeks in the Australian heat beggars belief.
I note, rachelandgromit, that you class yourself as the HUKD TRAVEL EXPERT, are you for real?
I would worry about anyone who would even consider this fare.

Are you serious? My Husband's experience with BA Business was awful... your comment is just plain rude & uncalled for.

You are rude and seem to not understand English. They were stating that premium economy was better than business class due to lack of BA service and opposite seating positioning. A valid point.

Everyone knows this is true who fly both regularly. You obviously do not fly.

"Get on your private jet" You wish you were Leonardo DiCaprio but you come on here to degrade someones statement due to a lack of comprehension. Loser.

Calm down HUKDers! Let's just say that do your research on the different classes in BA and seating plans and try to get the seats you want before booking or just book premium economy instead....

Everyone has different opinions of Airlines and which are better than others. Seat guru and others provide some insight into people's experiences and you can then make your own decision.

I don't suppose you have connections with ebookers!
Let me educate you as you don't seem to know despite being the [HUKD TRAVEL EXPERT]!!
People who normally fly Business Class do not queue up with the peasants the day before their main flight to take a budget airline flight to another country, to book into a hotel or doss in the airport terminal so that they can catch a 07.45 flight, so you might find yourself a bit out of your league. And it would be doubtful if the airline would even check you in as a 'backpacker' but may offer to check your baggage into the hold, should you look respectable enough for Business Class, or offer you a seat in Economy (which in any event would have been at half the price you quote above and a direct flight from the UK), and then you'd have to say good bye to using the Business Class Lounge - lol.
I take it that you've never been to Australia, as if you had, you'd know that it's one of the most expensive countries in the world to visit and doesn't have a Primark!
Of course there are posts on this site for foreign suppliers but I don't have to go to another country to pick up my order!
Your posting is NOT a UK deal so perhaps you would consider this the next time you decide to post something with a 'headline grabbing' title whilst leaving the detail in the 'small print'.
I wasn't aware that it's a requirement that I must post something on this site to take advantage of the deals that others have found and kindly shared with us and if you can't take criticism perhaps you should consider whether you should continue to do so.

Those kind of retards who think they are better than you because they have inherited lots of money but have noone who will ever love them .. Pity that fool.

Well bully for you, just a whole five times to Oz, then you'll know that what I've written about Australia to be true. I queried about your connection to ebookers as I wouldn't have loaded Oslo as my departure point if I'd been looking for a flight, and I'd suggest nobody else would either.
Anyway I consider your post not to be relevant to the purpose of this site although others might disagree with me.

Who are you to decide that? Very strange few posts you have made.

The fact is that it's a great price for what's on offer. Using half a brain cell, one could consider adding a short stay in Oslo as part of the 'holiday experience'. I have done this many a time. Not necessarily to save money, but I tend to always look for flights from Euro destinations for long haul. With the added attraction that if I can add in a decent European stop into the price and it works out around the same price as a UK>wherever flight, then to me that's a very big positive.

If you can't contribute something better, please keep quiet.

Gosh you are a sad person. Is that all you have, one brain cell. I bet it's inserted in your rectum - lol

In the 10 years since you been a member, what have you contributed to this community? Oh let me and my half a brain (I said half, you flattered me by saying one) cell think, zero deals.

You could very easily have contributed to this thread without the need for personal insults..

I'm sorry but I thought that I had made a meaningful contribution to the original post. And I have not insulted anyone - try asking someone who can understand what I have written to explain them to you.
You might not agree with my comments but I'm allowed to make them. You have the option to accept them or not,that's your choice. Personally I couldn't care less.

What I have contributed to this community is to try and dismiss the stupidity of a lot of the postings, and the posters. I did not say that you had half a brain, I said that you had one brain cell - there's a big difference which clearly you demonstrate, yet don't understand. Please ask someone to explain things to you.

I'm sorry mod but I never started this. I will not accept being insulted or abused in any form by anyone. As far as I'm concerned this is a forum to express ones opinion and I'm entitled to voice my reasonable remarks. Just because someone posts something here doesn't mean that it's set in stone. My remarks might not be acceptable to some of your readers but that's what a forum like this is all about. Whilst it would be a loss to be able to take advantage of the deals that others have found, and one can take advantage of, I can however live without the input.

I think a lot of people who would take up this deal would be new to Business, as I cant imagine too many people who use the sevice regularly would be bothered of flying economy to Norway first. I fly regularly for my job and have therefore have experienced a fair few different airline's interpretation of business and wouldn't want someone who is considering the deal to think it's crap based on one customers experience. BA's is not the best I've ever experienced, but I wouldn't ever rate premium economy higher.

Good price for Ex-Europe ticket via London. Qatar Airways had £1500 Oslo to Melbourne around two weeks ago.

I got an Ex-Europe ticket from Dublin to Honolulu next year in Business with BA/AA for £1250.

​It depends which route and aircraft with BA, European forget it, a380 and 787 then it's OK.... Ageing 747/777 then forget it. Better off with middle/far east airlines.

​Get over this! It's just a deals website. No need for insults!! Regular genuine users don't want this type of behaviour here.
