Johannesburg
I’m off to South Africa at the end of the month. One of the tricks with Avios if there is no availability to your preferred airport is to look at nearby options. Johnannesburg is opften much easier to get than Cape Town. Flights to Cape Town are reasonably priced and regular. Plus there is the fabulous Slow Lounge there to enjoy while you wait!
There are some good Business Class seats available outbound at the end of Jan/start of Feb and inbound in February. You’ll have to be quick to snap them up though.
Los Angeles
London to LA has just had some amazing availability come through. There are loads of outbound Business Class seats throughout February and even First Class seats. There are also lots of return Business Class seats and First Class as well. If you don’t fancy Los Angeles itself, it is a great starting point for a trip up the coast on Highway 1 which I think should be on everyone’s bucket list. You also only a short domestic flight away from San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Phoenix.
However, First Class options are all booked up from March
San Francisco

Hi was wondering do BA allow suspension of membership as have to have op on back so unlikely to travel this year sadly!
They will sometimes give an extension of status rather than suspension. I got my gold renewed when I had my transplant. So worth asking.
