I was watching some HEL - JFK options in Jan 19 over the last few days, including a Sat night stay. They've reduced from 2446€ to 1845€ for my dates. Much more attractive proposition!

Ive been keeping my eye on Chicago prices and have noticed a drop in price for LHR-ORD direct from £2100 to £1700 in October.

Yes, have also noticed various prices changing to the US - I have a feeling tomorrow is the day.

<drumroll> "Due to popular demand, and customer feedback, we are now providing stress free bookings by ensuring our prices remain constant throughout the year." 
Oh, well, they say Patience is a Virtue. I really want/need to give BA a good few £k, much is it pains me to say that!

Prices I’ve tracked are down about 20% and that’s a genuine from London. Hoping ex Eu makes it a fair bit cheaper as I’m having to do it on a budget...

The price drop has moved east but still no official sale.
Have been looking at MAN-KUL & back from SIN-MAN for 4 months. Typical price has been £3572 in CW, just got a price of £2550 in the Easter school holidays. With Mrs MM and MMjnr already on a 241 redemption booking, that makes 3 CW to KUL/SIN for a total £3600 and 192,500 avios (managed to get off peak outbound as well!)
£1200 each for 789 outbound and 380 return not too bad

I'm seeing something similar, at least for North America. If you go to Find Our Cheapest Fares, then select not-the-cheapest month, something in the middle of the price range, the fare that actually emerges on detailed grid is something like 20% cheaper than the fare quoted on the Find Our Cheapest Fare. I know Find Our Cheapest Fare is only recalculated once a day in normal circumstances, so I suspect that over this evening it will refresh to represent Sale fares.

I've been watching fares to the Caribbean Feb / Mar time for the cricket. Prices looked to have dropped significantly in the last couple of days. LGW - BGI available in WT for £450, WT+ for £750 and CW for £1700.
I bagged a ticket LGW - BGI in WT+, UVF - LGW in CW for £1300. Not cheap by SE Asia standards but good for West Indies
