I guess that means the AL28SALE and IL28SALE have the same dates then.

I think you are doing something wrong. I am seeing £931 for DUB to MIA from 24 December on to 31 December outbound. Can you post a screenshot of your itamatrix search page or list what you are putting in every box?

I must admit I haven't checked the A sale rules at all - some of us can only afford J you know

It wouldn't surprise me if the dates are the same though.

F to NYC from £1480 seems a little too good...

Something is wrong because both ITA matrix and google/flights are giving me the correct price now:

Very weird, they've suddenly appeared...

ITA Matrix wasn't giving me them half an hour ago, but clearly you've seen them. Caching them or something? But 600 quid has just dropped exactly that flight... Tempting...

They haven't sold out, they are still there for 24 December to 31 December outbound. As noted in my previous post, list what you are serching on if you want some advice on why your search isn't working.,

They're also weird, I wanted a 24th to 31st, click through and I'm standing on the tarmac back in Dublin on 28th of December, having spent three nights in Miami...

ITAMatrix is taking forever. Is everyone on this forum searching on it?

ITA often takes a little while to catch up on the first day of a sale.

My search hasn't changed. I was just getting different results from everybody else at the same time, then half an hour later it came through...

I've booked specific routing codes for ba1-4 through to LAS, and also doing Honolulu this august, I know how ita matrix works.

Still, its sorted now...

When is the next BA sale?

Ba1-4 will be cancelled over Christmas and new year, that seems pretty standard in previous years. I know they are showing now and bookable, but at some point they will be cancelled and you will be rebooked via LHR.

You know what, that is a massive help. I was tempted to try and TP it once I had a destination in mind... Good to know that well in advance (I was caught on the cancel BA-?, whatever I was on, in January).

Any other ex-eu other than Dublin?
