It seems very restrictive to have a 21 day advance purchase requirement on a fare that is only available for departures up to 30 days away = 23rd June. Does this mean this fare is only really available on BA.com for departures between 14th June and 23rd June as of todays date = 21 days away?? This seems to be a pretty pointless sale unless you are travelling in one specific week in June. Or am I reading the terms and conditions wrongly?
Yes - you can only book the £849 fare on ba.com if your outbound sectors are 14th to 23rd June. It's not a sale that is being marketed by ba.com - that fare is basically a (nice) anomaly that has appeared as a result of a typically short qantas sale. If you want to book an outbound sector before 14th June you need to book on qantas.com and pay an extra £150.
