I am seeing some sale fares ex-US for Economy, but really not so good for Business.

On some sample US-Indian Subcontinent routes for Economy (O class - terrible miles value) and doing flexible dates (looking for that star banner for cheapest date views - essentially avoiding the weekend peak travel days surcharge):

Introductory (new US destination fares): $1040
A random sale a few weeks ago: $1015
Today: $980

For business, I had seen $4k per person prior to the sale. Obviously, if they did 2-4-1 on anything close to that fare, it would have been amazing (and not impossible considering what BA JV did with Europe a few weeks ago). However, I am seeing fares closer to $4500 each now ($9k for 2).

So, yes, it is cheaper, but nothing dramatic.
