Great stuff, Andrew! Little Miss Sofasurfer will now end up seeing her grandma twice before Christmas 
I'm also trying to see if I can make this work for a friend coming to visit.. but have run into a sticking point.
I've just checked to see if this works for UK-Canada (and it does ^) - but I can't see how to easily get this to work for an open jaw return or a trip involving a stopover (to be precise, LHR-YYZ/YUL-LHR - or, better yet, LHR-YYZ-YUL-LHR).
I can see a discount code field for the one-way and return forms, but not the multi-city... am I missing something? If not, is there any way to get this itin booked? Andrew's OP states this is an online-only offer... any help appreciated!

See post #36 - do not think multi-city applies for these.

One point to note is that the new promo code is valid only from Sept 8 - Dec 15. The older two promo codes (sun and asia) were valid for all through Dec 10th or 15th respectively (no outbound date restriction). I just tried to book a July outbound and system gave me an error (I overlooked the start date requirement as the other two didnt have one).

Yeah, doesn't help my anniversary with my wife being August 28th.... I had a funny feeling this week would be to europe, but didn't think they'd wait until sept for travel dates.

Is there any way to make these codes work for flights from the US (routing through Canada) work? I'm looking at DCA/IAD - YYZ - LHR. For the transatlantic part alone it works beautifully, but not if I add the flight from DC. Of course booking that one separately will be much more expensive. Guess I have to fly US through PHL instead

Not sure if this will apply to anyone else - but just a heads up
I tried to book YYZ-LHR today and after trying a few times i had to call web support. I got all the way to the end and tried to pay and got this:
"Sorry...Due to technical difficulties, we are unable to proceed with your request. Please contact Website Assistance and provide this error message number. (5685 [2])
We are temporarily unable to process your request.
If the problem persists, please contact Website Assistance and provide this error message number. (9102)"
Apparently the error message is a new one and has nothing to do with this particular webcode so they had no idea why it was there. They said they made a note of it and allowed me to book over the phone. Took a bit of time as they were trying to figure it out but they were very nice people and it all got sorted out in the end.
Thanks for the code, very useful

Finally saw this thread, too busy traveling.
I have a comment, and a question.
First, the comment: Triple-bonus kudos to Andrew for everything he does for the customers of the airline (and hence, for the airline.) Having been here a long time, this is a remarkable thread.
OTOH ... not to seem ungracious, and maybe it has been said in this thread: but I'm heavily invested in flight-passes. Several of them, all of which will be used.
Not to un-nice, but what's in this for me?
