Got an email through 45 seconds ago and clicked on the link to say this offer has now ended.

you’re not missing much! Prices are higher than 2 weeks ago (at least for the flights I’m interested in). BA really not making a convincing case for me to fly them over af/klm/vs

looking on BA site seems like many Europe destinations in CE haven't changed, but I swear they have just slapped a "sale" logo next to it
similar to some worldwide destinations in Y, Northern USA etc, just seem to have a sale logo
nothing to get excited about

Probably haven't changed because the sale prices started on August 28 When I read the page I landed on from yesterday's email!!

This is also untrue. I have been looking at flights to PHL/ NYC for MONTHS and they were def cheaper in June than they are now / were in the sale. They elevated the prices then bought them back down but were still £200 more than the June prices. In the end, i ended up booking with another airline to Newark that isnt in the one world alliance.

Trying to book tickets for husband and son in August out to SFO and back from LAX. Already have 241 tickets booked for me and other son. The price in WT is EXTORTIONATE!!! Do I need to wait and hold my nerve or is this as good as its going to get??! Really don't want to fork out over £900 for WT.

Another quick add to say prices at the moment particularly to the US aren't all that great. Washington is actually a joke compared to what it has been in the past year or two

Direct flights to TPA as good as £270 on Basic Economy in November, great value and cheaper than Norwegian. Just booked one for £230 using a few Avios to drop price.

That's very good. Norweigan like a Florida TATL and that's really helped cool BA's pricing in that area over the last couple years

Yes it must have, although MCO and MIA often had competitive prices TPA was rarely below £500 2/3 years ago. Great for the consumer ^

Direct I’d say £1,700-2,000
In Jan you can fly INV-LHR-LAS-LHR in F for £1,950 which is very decent
