RE: Staggering Flight Costs
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Have you tried flying into Europe, say Paris or AMS and do a short haul flight into UK? I heard previously, UK flights are expensive because of the landing fees and airport taxes. That way you could even fly direct to your local airport if you're far away from London. It's another leg, but could work out a lot cheaper

Thanks. All sorted as I am flying to Dubai and no way around that part as I need to open a Dubai bank account as expats are no longer allowed to have a UK bank account due to Brexit regulations. I will book a second trip next month and will fly Air France so it will save around R60K which is roughly 2.8K GBP.
Damn Brexit!
Yes. This makes sense now why the bank refused to renew my credit card 3 years ago as they knew this time was coming. I only found out on the 27th of last month and have 5 weeks to find another account elsewhere. I can open an expat account with a UK bank, but they want a minimum account holding of 100K GBP. This is why I selected Dubai as it is easy to open an account with out all the games being played.
