btw globaliser, much thanks. I think it's great that you remembered this after this time! ^
No problem - I thought I'd deleted my own list and then saw it in one of my folders and it reminded me that you'd asked.
I think you're probably seeing the current sale fare for whichever dates you're looking at. NYC starts at £249 in Y, WAS starts at £269. These lead-in fares are valid 3-31 Mar, 12-30 Apr, 1 Nov-16 Dec, 25-31 Dec. These are the same prices as were offered in the January sale.
A bit of digging in Travelocity shows the following seasons being used:-
Season L: (Fare basis NLXNNGB8) 2-31 Mar, 12-30 Apr, 1 Nov-16 Dec, 25-31 Dec
Season F: (Fare basis NFXNNGB8) 1-11 Apr, 1 May-30 Jun, 1 Sep-31 Oct
Season J: (Fare basis NJXNNGB8) 22-31 Aug
Season K: (Fare basis NKXNNGB8) 1-10 Jul, 17-24 Dec
Season H: (Fare basis NHXNNGB8) 11 Jul-21 Aug
Those fares are for midweek travel; there's effectively a £15 each-way supplement for weekend travel. Date of outbound travel determines the applicable season for both sectors.
And WT+ is coming in at £420 over the WT prices, which is the standard premium: £200 each way, plus £20 extra tax for the ex-UK sector.
