Seems like NL and FR have a sale too. No F prices but East Coast > £1050 and SEA/PDX/DEN/IAH/LAS etc > £1300. Cali around £1450.

JNB for £16xx.

The sale looks great to me, a saving of >£2,000 for 2 in Club return to CPT gets my vote, covering all months until April 2017.

Last year when I booked to go to Indonesia for this March, I could have got BA for around £1500. Nothing less than £2000 at the moment for November on BA .

Safe & Happy Travels

Why don't you fly on a QR superior service from EDI-DOH-DPS for £1475, available in November?

Independent of whenever next BA fare sale occurs, I just used a US consolidator to get a great F fare ex-US for my pending trip to Europe on BA next week...my brother has always used this company on prior occasions...booking shows up under manage my booking on BA.com and full OW bonus miles apply.

Fares approx 30% discount or more on business and first class.

Feel free to PM me for intro.

I believe you might be just offering a helping hand, but you keep advertising this (eg couple of days ago in BA PREMIUM FARES post here)

Sounds great. Is it possible to post it here, rather than PM, so everyone can benefit?

If TPs and Avios are important, might be worth checking that the consolidator fares do in fact attract TPs/Avios.

That would have to be a last resort. Normally I go to East Java to see the long haired General so normally fly in to SUB. DPS wouldn't be such a hardship but in November we are (so I'm told at the moment) going to West Java so CGK would be the easiest.

The luxury of a one stop trip from GLA to Indonesia is such a nice thought as otherwise it is at least two stops.

The other option I have is EK who I will be making Gold with on my next flight and that is also appealing although they are coming in at just over £2000 for a J class trip GLA-CGK.

Think I might just wait for another couple of months to see what unfolds.

Safe & Happy Travels

Recently, Garuda (Skyteam) has had amazing promotions at £1000 return in J from CDG. I'm not sure if it is still on or not but I think that if it is, it dwarfs any current OW promotion in terms of both price and service quality.

When was the last Business/First sale from the US to Europe? I don't seem to have seen anything in a long time. Considering flying into CPH at this point as it is cheaper and I can easy rent car there and drive to Luebeck.

Not BA, but AB... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/premi...pril-25th.html

Thanks!

Potential to nest flights I guess, mixing BA and AB.
