In answer to the OP, I have no idea which "new" BA sale is referred to.
But we are heading for HNL* on Thursday thanks to one of them
* for £1150 each, BA CW and AA F

ex Dub to JFK (not via LCY) and back from Chicago for £750 each in CW. We were all set to go for a HNL run, but were pretty date specific and there was only 1 ticket left at the right price and otherwise it crept up way too much.
Quick question for those in the know... I ended up booking this through the US airways site as it was much cheaper than pricing up on BA.com. I know this means no UUA, but we talked that through and decided the flights were too short for first anyway. Is there anything else we may have missed out on because of booking via US?

Dublin to Philadelphia to Vegas and back in business (and "first" for the Vegas leg). £3,400 for three of us including car hire. 560 tier points.
If I'd thought about it a little more I'd have probably wangled 40 more TPs into it somehow. Could I have found a way of generating tier points flying directly to Dublin from Manchester or Liverpool?
By the way, am I right in thinking I can use lounges at all three locations for BA or US Airways?
And can anybody see a Vegas lounge that can be used before 11am?
And can I sit in a Dublin lounge for a couple of hours after returning (while waiting for Ryanair)?

DUB-LCY/LHR-IAD-JFK-LCY in CE/CW, nested within a LCY-DUB-LCY CE ticket, for a grand total of £1230 and 510 TPs if I have that right.
Got myself on the same flight as Mrs Snuffi to IAD, and we're going to have a nice long weekend in Washington/NYC a deux before I get the Babybus back home and she then spends a week in New York singing.
Awesome, and I get to take the 318 to City which I've wanted to do for a while. Although ex-DUB is a pita, the "saving" vs starting from London is already £1200, and I just now need a couple of cheap nights in Dublin. Or just one if I 'forget' to take my final leg. Best of all (from a vacation policy perspective) I can squeeze a day of work between LCY and LHR on the outbound, and then another between LCY and LCY on the inbound, so the whole thing takes just one day of holiday even with the positioning flights. And I don't get into trouble as now that I am at Heathrow too I can sign us both into the lounge and likely pay for everything stateside as well.
