As for bargains, there’s nothing that’s caught my eye off-hand. But if long haul travel is in your future, and you want to do it in comfort (and providing you can add a Saturday night stay), there could be a chance to earn a decent amount of British Airways Avios and Tier points to collect too – which is always a nicety.
