Looks like we have another CE / CW / WT sale kick off today. CE prices not as cheap as the August / September sale, but the odd bargain here & there.

Here we go again, got the mail, repriced the holiday I already have booked, and... it comes out £1300 more expensive than before.

Not a representative sample, obviously, but I tend to find BA sales somewhat underwhelming...

Yeah £2300 to cape town doesn't feel like a hugely "sale" price - anyone found any gems lurking ?

LHR-SYD in J is available for just under £3k at the end of next year. The SIN swap is available on the way back so nets 540TPs.

Looks like Club Europe prices around the level of the Black Friday 20% off, but only for Jan-Mar not all year.

World Traveller Plus pretty limited to a few sub-continent destinations. Nothing for First.

North America in World Traveller seems a sweet spot. SFO/LA at £303/£310 throughout next year and New York at £247 until Easter is a lot of flying for the money (if you can get in).

Yeah, can't really argue with <£500 for 2 to NY, albeit at the wrong end of the plane. Do we think there's realistic chance of open borders for leisure travel pre-easter though...?

CE to FAO and a weeks car hire for <£240. Can't complain about that.

Struggling to see anything decent. Might be some creative routing that could be done. Likely to LAX at a guess.

I booked a flight to Paris this morning. This afternoon in the sale, the price has gone up. Some sale!

The sale email and social media marketing is as bland as 2020 lockdowns.

What’s more exciting is WTP INV-JFK £369.

Now we just need some lighter restrictions on US borders.

I stumbled across this too, great fare... problem is the crazy cost of a UUA to CW now, this would be about an extra £300 in fees!

I thought UUA didn’t have a surcharge?

Ah so there are some WTP deals. Also mentioned on Head for Points this morning. But not showing on low fare finder for some reason.
