CE Sale fares to INV
Has anyone managed to bag an £80 rtn flight to INV from LHR? The £40 each way price is advertised on the sale pages, and is shown in the low fares finder.
However, when you go to the actual date £100+ is shown at the point of picking the flight, in spite of the fact £40 is listed in the calendar tab at the top. Wondered if it is just me?

This is a long term bug, it's been reported here before, ditto Isle of Man. The initial display is wrong, the correct prices show up when dates are selected.

It's also caused me the exact same issue when looking at weekend day trips to Europe. I haven't got time to sit and scour every single weekend until I find one. Is there any way around it?

I think this precise bug only affects INV and IOM, but I guess you are more concerned about the headline saying X and for your weekend trip it is Y. The "awayday" fares are only available to a handful of locations (domestic, DUB, GVA, LIS, NCE, MAD come to mind). If there is a Saturday night rule involved you best cut and paste the inputs and use ITA Matrix. If it's an awayday then there's only a few to check anyway so best to check via BA.com since they aren't always going to show on ITA.
If starting from NCL, the answer is probably LUX!

My search yesterday was a same day Saturday return LON to NCE. Firstly the low fare finder highlighted same day availability from £40ew. Once clicking through to the calendar view Saturday's were available at £44pp/ew. I clicked on both 8th July and 15th July specifically because of the availability and when it brings up the options to choose the specific flights the cost was in the hundreds (most not available). Despite this, the date tabs at the top of the page (where you can move forward or back 7 days) still showed £44 availability.
I'm on a mobile at the moment so can't replicate the search for you CWS, however it was a genuine identical issue that I almost posted on here about for advice.

On the other hand, if you go to NCE out on BA2622 on 4 July, returning same day on BA2625, that comes in at £83.50, which is close enough to the headlined rate of £42 each way. If you then move to another date you're moving off G or O class and so the price for each leg will potentially go up.

Apologies - it was ET, not CE - I just meant that a similar bug (whilst on differing fare classes) was there on other routes.
Thanks for that. I'll give it some more research over the weekend.

If you get stuck, by all means give me some dates to check, I can get things checked out fairly quickly at my end. But if you are still doing your NCL hops, and TPs is part of the equation, then consider starting from NCL if you are staying a Saturday night and there is a through price from NCL (unfortunately that is not everywhere) since NCL/LBA/MAN now have some very good CE prices.
