I honestly don't know - the ex-AMS J flights to SYD have come down from almost £8K to just over £6K and you can also apply shareholder discount.

BA Sale: USA - India till 21 August 2012 in eco/premium eco ($400 off)
Should have put this out earlier, my bad. BA has a sale on Sep 2012 - May 2013 excluding a 15 day window in December 2012 for round trip purchase.
Here are the details:

The 'Low Fare Finder' suggests that J class returns LHR-SYD are available from £3234 in Jan and Feb but on reviewing all dates from 01 Jan - 30 Mar the lowest return bookable at the moment is £4033.

The AA sale isn't very good, actually the rates are higher than the BA non sale prices.
I find it a little strange that LAX-LHR is $200 more expensive than LHR-LAX on the same dates, but what do I know!

If I'm looking to head to the States, you can pretty much bank on their being an ex-US sale.
If I have no reason to travel stateside (right now, for example) then you're almost guaranteed to see an ex-UK sale.

Again sorry if this is a dumb question, but historically does BA have ex-US sales, and if so what time of the year have they been in the past.

Yes they do. The last one was earlier this summer. I've only been out here for a year or so though so I don't have much first hand experience on ex-US sales to go on.

ex-US great prices to Paris
I know there isn't supposed to be an ex-US sale right now but I just booked today a round trip NYC-PAR via LHR for this coming September for 1065 USD... in WT+. Using the chase BA 10% discount.
Sounds like an amazing price for me, don't think I have ever seen WT+ that low on this route (but please correct me if I a wrong). I usually fly Openskies non stop but for the same dates the price was almost twice as high... and I like the F lounge at Heathrow
Am leaving on 9/12, returning on 9/16. Coming back 9/15 (without the saturday night stay) triggered a much higher price though.

Now if I want to travel in late October (which I also do) then it is cheaper to book now. (It would have been £2400 two week ago). So I shall.
You need to know a sale fare when you see one, regardless of what BA calls it.
