Excellent First fare ex ORK
Hi all,
Just noticed a pretty good F fare ex DUB or ORK to BOS...€2099 return...the dates I've checked are for July. All other fares to east cost USA are coming in at €4000+.
I was looking to get a good CW fare - €1800 return ORK - BOS but this First fare seems like a no brainer...
Could it be an error in the system? I think I'm going to book it

It is just a return ORK - BOS...
The cabin seems pretty empty for the dates I'm looking at - according to FlightStats (not sure how accurate that is?!)
The same flights from LHR - BOS return are a lot more expensive

NYC/BOS fares are about the same so I just used it as a model...
DUB/ORK to :
NYC fares in RRCIE are pricing out as : € 1653, and the AAFIE is 3853.
BOS fares in RRCIE are : € 1714 and guess what AAFIE is also € 1714.
Me thinks it should have been € 3914 but someone made an error.

Its been reported in the summer sales thread for the past three weeks so unlikely to be an error? Crossed fingers as looking to book shortly.

It is also fully flexible so seemingly changeable at will providing there is A availability and fully refundable, which is unusual for a sale fare.

This should be kept quiet. Won't be long before it is gone but is a great deal for a flex F return.
In terms of TP yield it isn't great at about £4.90~ per TP, whereas a £100 upgrade to CE costs £2.50/per TP
I looked at this as I am keen to keep Gold this year.
