Ok, but Delta is SkyTeam member? Will not give anything to BA?

Hoping for a good price combined with the Triple Avios offer. Do you think there is any chance BA combines this with a promotion on part payment with Avios to reduce the ticket price?
The only people who may know will be sworn to secrecy and won't publish anything on here. Anything else is pure speculation and guesswork so here's my mystic meg prediction:

The chances of getting the route, class, date and promotion criteria you want are low. Your chances increase proportionally with your flexibility.

Correct.

I'm very close to playing away!

There is the possibility that BA/AA will (quietly) match the DL fares, in order to remain competitive.

But the point is this thread is for BA sales so I think there is some confusion about why you are posting about a DL sale?

Well there might be but then if you follow that logic this thread would constantly include posts on other carriers sales in case BA may potentially match it - and that would quickly make the thread pointless.

Of course if BA do match a sale on another carrier that is very relevant here, so why not wait to see if it happens, then post if it does.

I do apologise.

I'll go and crawl back under my stone.

Or you could follow my suggestion, wait to see if BA does match does happen and then post since I am sure that would be very useful to people who read this thread.

Can someone help with what the current fare rules are for: iln8s4c1

I am booking Ex-Dub to LAS (via LAX)
Out 24th Mar 17
Back 1st Apr 17

Fare code within the T&Cs is: iln8s4c1

I am wanting to know what the advance period for this fare is? Also, has this been around a while as I may wait two days to make the booking and get the triple avios deal.

Thanks,

NV

I'm on the look out for a CW/biz sale fare to MIA OutBnd in March (6-8th to be precise). Ex-EU or UK is fine. But budget would ideally be under the £1200 mark. I remember once seeing it at £750 ex-DUB! Although taking into todays EUR rate I imagine those days are long gone! Eyes peeled!

If anyone spots anything please do PM me.

Thanks all. Happy flying.

March is not usually covered in Sales ( unless an early Easter.. ) so your best bet would be the Advanced Purchase price

I managed an £850 last year in the Jan sale for August Bank Holiday

Hi,

It looks like BA has launched the Unforgettable sale in UK. Waiting to see if they launch it for ex-EU flights also.

Actually, the UK sale started something like 10 days ago (about Christmas Eve).

Some ex-EU sale fares appear to have been loaded overnight.
