You may think so, however, here are the lowest prices in Y for the last 36 weeks, taken on Wednesdays, for 5 nights; 7 nights is usually the same or only a buck or two different. You be the judge.

So is ex-US more expensive than ex-UK? LON - SFO showing lowest price £500 (eg $770ish)

More like $850, but yes, currently. And for 7 nights I don't see anything less than £535. But still, yes.

When prices from the UK float up to £700/£750 then the conversion is more equitable, but I'm not sure how often that happens (but I know it does happen, at least sometimes.) But most of the time, the ex-UK lowest price is generally lower than the ex-US lowest price I believe (where currency is origin based.)

Not a particularly stellar deal, but might be of interest to some...

DUB-LHR-JFK in First (A) (J on the DUB-LHR sectors) return for GBP2516. AA flight numbers but all operated by BA. No Saturday night required. A2JBUP4.

It's unfortunate that BA never matches the Skyteam sales from North America like Star does. Had to get to Munich and BA wanted $5600 for an I fare. Wanting to avoid LH because of their strikes so looked at OS J direct from YYZ-VIE. $2300CDN in J with the add on OS hop to MUC for less than $200. Having flown OS in their new J once before BA lost out this time.

Did the ex-OSL to SYD get extended? Thought it was meant to end on the 7th? Still seeing it on ITA though. Thanks

Shhhhhhhhhhh... SFO-LHR... ~$1950 for various times between November and August next year... in Club World! Possibly a fare error, but you heard it here first. I do take commission...

Great find, RB211. I don't suppose it's being offered in the opposite direction?
