As Roving Reporter and I will be travelling to Buenos Aires for the next few days using our Iberia 90,000 Avios promotion, I have done as a big a selection of fares as possible today to keep you going!
FARE: UK to South Africa on oneworld from £1487 – ENDS TODAY!
This is a great fare from the UK for oneworld but very niche as it is only available on very limited dates in the next few months and some of those are at a slightly higher price. However, it is very very rare to see these prices. The dates I can see prices from £1487-1634 are: departures on 6, 13 May, 24 June, 4,11 July.
The flight from Madrid is on an A330 with seats in a 1-2-1 configuration.
The fare is on Iberia routeing via Madrid from either Heathrow or Gatwick

FARES: Ex EU to Asia from on Qatar
It’s the final week of the ex Scandivaia offers from Qatar. These fares are available until 26-30 April 2019 depending on the departure point.
Flying indirect with Qatar has some disadvantages in that you get less sleep but you do get to break up the journey and stretch your legs. Also flying indirect gets you extra tier points meaning that you are close to BA silver after one trip. One of these flights will get you 560 tier points, not including positioning. Once you get 600 TPs and have done four BA flights you get silver status and access to the lounge in any class plus free seat reservations at the time of booking on BA.
The fares start from:
- Gothenburg – Bangkok £1302
- Gothenburg – Hong Kong £1419
- Gothenburg – Seoul £1574
- Stockholm – New Delhi £1198
- Stockholm – Singapore £1249
- Stockholm – Phuket £1470
- Stockholm – Ho Chi Minh City £1353
- Stockholm – Manila £1448
- Stockholm – Da Nang £1544
- Stockholm – Langkawi £1735

The rules vary slightly between offers but they are mainly:

- Minimum stay: 3 nights
- Maximum stay: 2 months
