Adding one final post to the old thread would let subscribers know that there's a new one. This has usually been done to archived threads, but not this time. I'll alert the mods...

Next Business sale ex eu or uk?
I've been advised I may be able to have time off in August to visit my daughter again in Tokyo. I have the required Avios for a Business return for myself and Mrs AQ with a 241but could also hang around for an ex EU sale if they do them to the Far East.
I appreciate you buy what you would fly etc but given I can wait a while I'd prefer to increase my TPs and Avios if possible, 28th Apr notwithstanding.
Could anyone speculate or comment on previous sales please?
Thanks AQ

Hi,
There should be a CW sale for the summer months July-Aug ex-UK later this year.
I do not know if the ex-uk will be cheaper than ex-eu. ( there is a ex-BRU flight to tokyo in mid aug for around £2200
Regards

Right now there are very good fares on MAD-LHR-HND in aug at around £1.7K. BCN, BRU, OSL and others also have good fares.
ARN-LHR-NRT at £1.6k in aug is the cheapest I can find.
I've never really seen sub £1.3k on HND/NRT but I guess it could happen but £1.7k is hardly bad for the distance.

I'm not sure if there is a WTP sale currently being offered from DUB but this morning I managed to book what I consider to be a bargain fare DUB LHR SIN (stop) SYD and return without a stopover. Fare €1440 return for January 2016 including taxes so under £1100. I applied a Gold Upgrade voucher and have secured Club World seating. Maybe this should not be in the Sale thread but quite a bargain in any case? While it is non-refundable it is changeable for €180 plus fare difference.

Thanks Filthy Monkey I went to the BA website (which would not allow me a stop in SIN - bonkers) so made the booking by phone. I succumbed to the £5 booking fee - couldn't be bothered challenging that. All my needs met: A380 to SIN, 3 nights there to meet university mates, onwards to SYD and straight through back. I was even more surprised that normal redemption seats were available without a Joker - for about £1070 I thought it was a really good deal - January should be a busy time on the Kangaroo Route? DUB certainly has lots of ongoing bargain fares on BA OW!
As an aside a confidant @ DUB has told me that QR about to move in to DUB market!

I'd start a When is the next BA sale from North America? thread but that would have tumbleweeds blowing around in it. They simply never happen anymore

Insofar as it's potentially possible to speculatively forecast the likelihood of when exUK sales may subsequently occur (), I keep a list of current and past ones on the blog here:

I see the current 'free upgrade to F promotion' ends 13th March and IME the J/F sales usually follow promptly, which would seem to be in keeping with the previous timings.
