I used this link to get wt+ bos-lhr for $500 inc. taxes in Oct... looks like many other cities are included...it's the friends&family discount.
* Round-trip, 7-day advance purchase, non-refundable, select economy class fares and select "T" class fares for travel Sept. 05-Dec. 15, 2005 and Dec. 24-Mar. 31, 2006 from New York JFK and Newark to London on British Airways only. Higher fares apply for other travel dates, from other departure gateways and to other European destinations. Fares subject to gov't. approval & include gov't. fees/taxes ranging from $110 to $144 and a $2.50 September 11th Security Fee. Min. stay Sat. night required. Max stay 11 months. New bookings only, made Aug. 23-Sept. 05, 2005, subject to availability. Other significant restrictions apply. For full terms and conditions, click here.
I know..I can't believe how cheap it is. I priced my BOS-LHR flight out and I'm paying 1/2 of what the regular ba.com price is. I'm so glad I saw the link on fatwallet.com-I came here to post it but noticed someone else aready posted it.
Any idea how I could combine this fare with a connection from SAN? via LAX, PHX or SFO?
Could always buy a separate ticket, but would prefer to combine the whole trip on one PNR if at all possible.
Cheers,

I had a look through the Exec Club website and although the fare was booked on days where the discount was available it showed me the fare I booked last week when I went through the 'Book and Upgrade' option.

Thanks for posting that link. I booked a RT from ATL to LGW yesterday for only $531 RT in WT+. I hadn't flown BA on a paid ticket for a few years due to the disappointment in the awarding of FF miles on discounted tickets. For this price I couldn't say no and besides, I do miss the good service on the transatlantic flights.
