Very Very nothing sale

I just checked flights for Aug '11 and they are still the same fares they were prior to the very very zero sale

What gives?

Can only assume that they haven't been loaded yet as the link from the front page doesn't take you to anything sales like either...

Most sale fares seem to be for travel during Q1 2011.

I just checked SJU in April and it seems a good bit cheaper in CW than before.

The NY is probably the best one. Some other the others are still hitting a little short of the 900 mark - prettty much everything of interest to me.

Jan-Jun seem lower, then they go up a bit in July, drop down until Sept and then for Oct-Dec, hit their peak prices.

Fares in Jan seem to be lower than usual, and so are those in Feb. Maybe August is not covered by this sale.

Indeed and Aigist is a peak travel time so any sale fares would likely not incluide this period anyway.

I see that LHR-LAX and back in first class is about 3800e during summer months. I was planning to buy business class for about 2400e but I've never flown in first class so I'm tempted to pay a bit extra. It's a holiday and that would be almost acceptable amount to spend more for me.

But is 3800e in general a good price? I can see that some other airlines have prices of about 8000e or even 10ke. Then again Continental seems to have a bit cheaper first tickets according to kayak.

2,686.60 LHR-JFK roundtrip in F is a relative steal. ($4145.69)


For Comparison:

LH wants € 8192.12 FRA-JFK. ($10,823.42)

LX wants CHF 13,847.00 ZRH-JFK ($14,497.94)

AF wants € 10,544.76 CDG-JFK. ($13,931.73)


BA is running a half-off sale, at least in F...
