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.
