Earlier this year LHR-LUX was £42 return with Sat early am out and early evening return. Was offered POUG for £49 each way on MMB.

This link is what is needed for these queries. Currently it is £172 return, and that is currently the cheapest CE available. I would imagine that will change around a bit with the next CE Sale. Places like BOD and AGP may go lower than this fare.

That link used to be one of my favourite pages on BA.com, but it was ruined in 2016 when they removed the "sort by price" function. Next time you're having a catch-up with one of the big cheeses at BA, please can you campaign to have "sort by price" reinstated on that page?!

If you wanted to parse the html to collect the data, it could be done relatively easily. However, it would be easier to parse the response coming from the underlying API request that the browsers makes.
Anyway, we’re getting OT. Send me a private message if you’d like to discuss further

Yes they still are available, booking into G. Note that for POUGs, these are only offered approximately 3 days after booking, if at all. AUP are not so constrained. Easter Saturday meant I couldn't find any for some locations (e.g. LIS) but DUB still comes up (and there were other times/dates):

So the answer is that these fares definitely still exist. As ever, the challenge is to book them when revenue management has released some G class seats. That is something with which ITA can also help if you turn the availability checker on.

In a 2,000 mile destination radius from FRA, using ITA I easily found valid filed fares from London to AMS, BCN, BRU, DUB, DUS, EDI, FRA, GVA, HAM, LUX, MAD, MAN, MXP, MUC, CDG, FCO, VIE and ZRH. This is an incomplete list because of limitations from doing long ITA searches. I have also seen valid fares for ARN and CPH using a separate search, and there must be more.

Awayday fares are private fares so I would expect ITA to be constrained in pricing them as it has been in the past on Basic fares. The latter will become public fares on 4 April 2018,
