Trailfinders have a splash ad on their page “The world on sale” which sounds very like the BA spiel. But when you click into it it says page not found. Likely there’s a sale being loaded?

Go look at Sky Team if you need a business sale and it is more important than Tier Points - Ł1000-1100 LHR-IAD or LHR-ORD mainly one stops and tonnes of availability starting next week for six months !

I fly to Chicago (ORD) regularly from Scotland (but would happily get to/from London on a separate ticket), but cannot find these Ł1100 fares you mention?
Did you have a specific set of dates you used?
Looking for late Jan 2019.
Cheers

Just looked at the BA Holiday Finder for April ... showing blanks for everywhere except Middle East, Asia and Indian Ocean.
I assume that implies Rest of World is being loaded? I need a Caribbean for April!

There's a current sale with Delta, hence the fares.

BA Holiday Finder has now loaded the Caribbean. 
First look showing a vast range of options, although they don't seem particularly 'cheap' when i look at some familiar places.

hi mikefly, do you have a link for that sale or is it gone? I just realised you posted this last week but perhaps it's still live? Can't find those fares on google. Looking for a Europe to US trip for Sept/Oct this year.

take a look at the premium fare deals thread - just seen a post there about a LON-US flash sale (has more details on dates etc)
