I’ve been keeping an eye on LAS for May / June in J and they definitely haven’t changed. Seem to have come down in F in April though

I think they're still being loaded. The LAX one I was tracking dropped first, but when I checked MCO it hadn't gone down. The about 30 mins later the MCO one dropped too.

I'm seeing LHR to SEA/YVR in F for ~1900 GBP and J for ~1500 GBP so prices have dropped for the flights I've been watching (albeit with not so great timing, flying on Wednesday/Thursdays). No drops on ex US flights though =(

My regular INV/ORD/EDI (via lhr, of course) has dropped significantly also.
Though it seems they are intent on not giving cheap CW on weekend returns - wednesday night is the last 'cheap' night to return.

Maybe I'll do CW outbound, PE inbound. Which I'd prefer the other way round, but never mind.

There is a £450 fare showing within cheapest fares on the BA app for JFK in World Traveller Plus, however once you click through to the daily view the price does not exist.

IF once fully loaded this fare turns out to be genuine, that would be the lowest I have ever seen it ex-London at least. Fingers crossed.

Hm. How does the BA best price guarantee work if I buy now and find a cheaper version later with OTA?

(looking at a booking where the £30 discount for Avios requires 3,400 rather than the normal 3,000 so thinking creatively!)

Me too. I was seeing around £2300 last week in J, then suddenly about Thursday, the same dates jumped to £3200+.

Looking at LHR-MIA return in July next year. Currently a shade over £5k for two adults and a lap infant. Ex-DUB is €3,900 which is c€300 more than last time I looked. Hopefully a few fares still to be loaded as my dates are unfortunately a bit static.

Ex-ARN was a shade over £3,100 last time I looked but have since decided that's pushing it a bit with an infant.

Having looked for this last year, in January (for June) there were 3 different sales exUK with approx £1k prices, so don't rush.

Praying for something to Asia today, althought that doesn't seem likely

LGW-JFK in spring is £570 in WTP. It shows £460 on GF then goes up

Screenshot has to show the cheaper OTA fare available on the same calendar day as your booking. So don't book at 11:55pm!

(That's if a screenshot is ever required - I've done 4 successful BPG claims and never had to send a screenshot, but you can't rule it out.)
