* plus £70 applicable taxes and fees... 
* ... which includes £37 YQ, obviously.
Look, I know that large numbers of folk on this board haven't seen the rear-end of an aircraft since the Big Bang (meaning finance, not physics
) but I'm a little surprised not to have seen a thread on the subject of the sale that is currently on ba.com in very big letters (travel in May / June; book by 27 March).
Maybe that's because it's limited to ET, WT and WT+?
Thing is, I'm not sure that my regular LGW-JER-LGW is actually part of the sale because it's not listed in the promotion and because the cheap fares go on into July. However, the fare for booking more than a month ahead has dropped from around £90-100 to about £75.
Is this simply the slow summer season in progress?

Yes, I saw the thread pop back to the top and checked it,
very lucky as if it wasnt in the sale, i would have been flying in Y to the US next month. I was just about to book, but managed to wait for the sale fares to start populating.
I am flying to IAD for meetings in New Jersey and PA though!!
