That £450 fare to JFK in Premium is very annoying as it doesn’t seem to exist..has anyone found it?

And, as is customary, bu&&er all for exUS!

(Although to be fair, unless it was unbelievable, I have all my current trips booked and I'm not scheduled to book any more for a few months, so I wouldn't bite and would be whining about the timing of said mythical sale finally becoming reality!)

Well under £600 in PE to NYC is decent, especially if UUA is available.

Tried playing around a bit with ex-EU CW fares to Miami again but still higher than I found prior to the sale.

Appreciate there is no firm answer, but for next July is it best to wait until the next sale? Working on the basis the fares have not long been released.

VS seems high as well despite their current sale.

Personally I'd be waiting until mid January when the cheapest prices of the year seem to come about

I think the answer is the same as it often is: You'll never know whether the price will definitely come down further in the future, so the best thing you can do is buy once the price reaches a level that you're comfortable paying.

As an example, I have CW return flights to MCO this Christmas fully during the school holidays. I considered waiting for a cheaper fare, as it's higher than I would usually pay, but in the end, to be safe, I paid £2060 round trip during the sale last Christmas. Since then the lowest price has been about £3200 in any of the sales this year (I've had it tracked all year.)

According to the sale T&C's, it only applies to World Traveller and World Traveller Plus - shame there aren't some decent offers in CW and F to try and tempt people to book after all the recent problems and ongoing strike threat.

Even if the T&Cs say that there are definitely a range of offers at least in CW to the US, depending on when you want to travel - next spring, for example. I gave some examples earlier.

It applies to CW and first as well. You need to scroll down to the ‘Premium terms and conditions’ section.

Prices to KUL are more or less the same as previous sale.

Ahh, thanks - I obviously got bored of scrolling - still, no bargains when I was looking to travel

I'm not really seeing anything in WTP on the route I fly regularly (London->Washington).
WT is down a little bit, on one date, but most of them are the standard £680-£800 for a Basic fare. WTP is coming in at £1200.
Neither WT nor WTP seems like a sale fare (going by the last 6yrs of evidence flying at the same time of the year).
