Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Every so often, Jack Sheldon from Jack’s Flight Club selects a flight deal from the UK for Independent readers that you can’t afford to miss. This week: return business class flights to the Seychelles for £1,138.

British Airways is offering these business class fares to the Seychelles as companion fares, meaning you need to book at least two tickets to get the deal price. This route flies direct from London Heathrow, with a quick stopover from everywhere else.

All the usual perks are included, including lie-flat seats, two checked bags and lounge access. There are some peak summer dates in there too.

How to book

Head to Google Flights and enter your departure and destination airports from the list below. You may want to add a “British Airways” filter to the airlines, to help find the dates included in this deal. Make sure to select two passengers travelling together, as this is a companion deal.

Use Google Flights’ calendar tool to help you highlight the best travel dates (they’ll show up in green).

Once you’ve found your travel dates you can book directly with the airline, or, for the best price search your dates on Skyscanner and book with an Online Travel Agent.
