Origin INV
Destination SEA
Routing code LHR JFK LAX
Selext dates (e.g. 23NOV-26NOV)
First Class
and that should bring through a few options around that price. I'll try and screen shot something when I'm in work later.
Then it's ring up BA to book, or try an OTA (I've found AMEX can often work the slightly more complex itineraries).
Good luck!!

Wondering if we're likely to see a sale for the Christmas period as per recent years. Any idea when that typically surfaces? If it's likely to happen this year...
Thanks
Thanks

Last year they had a BA Holidays sale covering the christmas / new year period that started at the end of October.
I'm hoping for something similar in the next week or so otherwise I'll be making a trip to Inverness!

A rhetorical question I guess.. hoping to book a world traveller plus BA holiday for January to Singapore... how likely will BA have a sale before Xmas. .

If you assume that the T fare bucket ("selling class") is going to be required for any cheap WT+ fare, you could use ExpertFlyer[1] to set an alert for it falling to something problematic for you, and modify your buying behaviour appropriately.

I'm planning a trip from SFO to LHR on August 2018, and I know it's far away, but because there's a number of us on this trip, I don't want to risk booking too late.
We were originally planning on flying J, but if there's going to be a sale coming up in the next few months, I'd like to hold off. Does anyone have any educated guess, based on previous years' sales, on when there may be a J/F sale?

Also, if your large group fancies an expedition to Cairo just before...
