While significantly reduced compared to regular ex-USA prices, these are still nowhere near low enough to be tempting for those of us that can also ticket in the opposite direction. Compared to ex-EU or even ex-UK still a good 30%-50% higher depending on class and route. And that despite not knowing when borders for Americans flying east and Europeans flying west will reopen.

The small print on the email notes the restrictions: book from midday today until 23:59pm GMT 3rd November, selected destinations in CW/CE from Heathrow and Gatwick.
I've not checked to see whether these 'stack' if booked from the regions, but I do wonder whether - given the limited on-board catering offer, and lack of lounges - people will bite, especially on European routes.
The sale fares on the Low Fare Finder seem to be clustered in January, February, and March - at least for European routes.

Before COVID we did most short haul in ET, as with status benefits the premium you pay for CE just isn't worth it most of the time. At these prices though, coupled with no alcohol, a bag of crisps & a couple of biscuits in ET it's a no brainer for us on a 2.5+ hour flight. More so when you throw in the extra Avios and the fact you can voucher anything up to the last minute.

I can’t see anything to TFS for less than £400 despite what BA’s website and low fare finder say.
