This thread concerns a period on 6 August 2015 when for at least 6 hours, starting a 07:30 GMT, BA, AA and AY offered Business class flights from 3 Norwegian airports - Oslo, Stavanger and Bergen - to the USA. By cheap we mean below £400 for OSL-LHR-USA in business class return, plus additional flights in First thereafter. Bragging rights go to crazy8534, original post here. Around lunchtime these fares were pulled, but by that time a number of FTers had leapt in and got themselves booked and ticketed. Some also upgraded existing bookings or UuA'd to First.
BA have now confirmed directly to many FTers via email that their bookings will be honoured (Screenshot of email courtesy AAtticus). We await confirmation from those booked on AA.com and those with multiple bookings.
Back to back information for OSL, BGO and SVG is to be found here, and also there is a photo guide here for OSL kindly posted by wjh5879.

as a reference point, i've just paid for the aa.com booking I had on hold and they have taken the money (according to apple pay) and reservation went from 'on hold' to 'requested' to 'ticketed' within 5 mins.
that's 3 for me. hurray.
can I UUA AA flight numbers?

Oh this is bringing back some recent memories now! I was in OSL earlier this year and I remember passing that transfer queue for security - seemed to be long and very slow moving and that would have been around 1100 on a Saturday morning. I remember thinking that it wouldn't be a great place to transfer if it was like that.
There were a few queue jumpers when I was there and eventually one of the security guys was posted in the corridor to hurry along those with tight connections.

So currently my 4 flights are still intact.
Two booked on ba.com, one aa.com but on BA metal and one via lastminute.com.
The OTA one was when the price was no longer available on ba.com and aa.com but it still ticketed in around 20 minutes.
Even it they get cancelled it was a enjoyable day and I also loved the activity here on FT.
Have a great night everyone and hopefully we won't wake up to cancellation emails on our phones. That would ruin my Friday for about an hour.

My Spanish is better than my German, but I'll give it a go...
Aufgrund eines Tariffehlers wurde für einen kurzen Zeitraum am 06.08.15, Flugtickets mit einem nicht korrekten Ticketpreis für die Reise von Oslo zu Ihrer gewählten Destination angezeigt.
Based on a tarrif error, airline tickets were offered for a short period on 06/08/15 at incorrect prices for journeys from Oslo to your chosen destination.
Da die Einstellung des Tarif auf einem Fehler beruhte, halten wir an dem falsch angebotenen Ticketpreis nicht fest.
Since the revised tariff was based on an error, we will not honour the incorrectly priced ticket offer.
Da dieser Tarif offensichtlich als Irrtum erkennbar war und keinen Flugtarif darstellt, wird die Fluggesellschaft Sie mit diesem Flugschein nicht befördern.
As the tariff was clearly recognisable as an error, and does not constitute a fare, the airline will not transport you with this ticket.
Daher sind wir gezwungen die Buchung kostenfrei zu stornieren und komplett zu erstatten.
We are therefore obliged to cancel your booking free of charge and fully reimburse you.
Wir bedauern diese Unannehmlichkeiten und bedanken uns bei Ihnen für Ihr Verständnis.
We regret this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding

(That reminds me of the time my wife ended up sitting beside a man from air traffic control on a domestic to LHR, the poor fellow must have thought he was being subjected to an extraordinary rendition such was the level of interrogation; why are we so high? why is that plane so high? why are we holding? why are we so low? why is that plane so low? when will we land? how often do they land? why haven't we landed yet?....you get the picture...)

Well BA sold CW to Seoul for £777 and in those Days, November 2012, GBP1 was around 9 NOK ≈ NOK 7,000.
So tickets just below NOK 5,000 isn't an incredible low price, and could be interpreted as a strike against
Norwegian Airlines rather than an error

"isn't an incredible low price" - it doesn't really get any lower than that given the rest is fees...... ?
don't get me wrong, I am happy and yesterday was fun but I am just saying that it was pretty obvious that this wasn't right (not least because aa.com displayed Y tickets costing (just) more than the J ones).

I got in on this action, I am already doing a TATL trip in November after a very good F fare for LIN - IAD via LHR then JFK - CDG via LHR (£1800...), so Mrs O and I are heading to New York in April next year. Will be good to see how this pans out next month and if the first ticketed FTers end up going

Interestingly this morning the low fare finder on is showing SVG - NYC for 4407NOK (£344) but when you click through to book it bumps the fare back up to normal price. It's doing the same for OSL - NYC. Odd given yesterday's events and getting the hopes up of those who missed it!
