What Class? I'm seeing WT+ to NY at £742 and CW at £1514. Those are sale fares.

Am I being thick here? I am see £2500 for CW for JFK-LHR
I am looking up the fares on a normal flight search on ba.com.

Is there a separate link?

Try this. https://www.britishairways.com/trave...club/_gf/en_gb

Change the drop down menu to "business".

Anyone else finding the BA site particularly troublesome this morning? It keeps booting me off.

Runs over Xmas and New Year, though... Was planning to spend New Year at home but now I've got a decision to make...

Hmm, not sure I like everything I see.

It's only an I4 sale and prices are not as low as previously. In fact, ex-UK fares are still higher, sometimes significantly than ex-EU fares.

Also:
Flight restrictions
THE FARE COMPONENT MUST NOT BE ON
ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
BA FLIGHTS 7000 THROUGH 7049.
AND
THE FARE COMPONENT MUST NOT BE ON
ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
BA FLIGHTS 0001 THROUGH 0004.
Sad face. No baby bus, although it is allowed on ex-EU sale fares.

And, only subjective evidence on this one, I class availability for the sales period seems to be much reduced from last week. I can't imagine that that much I inventory has been booked already.

For me, the biggest issue here is that for the cheaper WTP destinations there is a distinct lack of CW availability for the dates I'm looking at. UUA is therefore not an option.

I think the ex-EU fares may well win out on this one. 140TPs total for a direct flight which I may or may not be able to UUA, or 600+ TPs and the chance to do a couple of nights in LAS for £600 more...

Definitely there

LHR-PEK/BKK-LHR for 3 May returning 25 May has dropped by c. £260 to £999

I assume we will now get the ad campaign kicking off?

Am I the only one here to book today?

Ex-UK, of course ... golfmad will have to wait until the next ex-US one.

You can fly on the BA1-4, but only on an AA code...
