I found some fares,LON to LAS in March for around £1650, but was hoping to add on a car so I can makeit a holiday and only pay the deposit now but BA holidays have the price at over double this amount.
Is it a case that the sale fares are not loaded yet, or will they never be?

Happy with the price? I guess I was ... base fares before abating with Avios are/were:
Sep 17 - 767
Sep 18 - 736
Apr 19 - 734
Basically, I should have waited a few days to let the system settle down and get the Sale fares loaded. Impatient and foolhardy, and too focussed on getting the BA Holidays sale item for next June before that sold out!!!

ok, I need some help with crystal ball gazing. I have to go to Florida from Croatia in October. In the past, I have been able to get flights for around $2500. Everything right now is $3300+. Obviously I would prefer oneworld since I have status with them (and would like to take advantage of that status and retain that status) but I can get SAS from Stockholm for $2070 + $500 for the intra-Europe positioning flights in business. I have been waiting for the BA "September" sale but don't know how much longer to hold out. Any advice? Or other suggestions?

Plus your positioning costs to Stockholm. Zagreb to Miami showing at just over $3,000 for me in Matrix.

Opinions sought.....
Travelling to Vegas and want to maximise TP, to a degree......
So I can change planes in JFK and cop 560 TP for just over £1600 in the current sale. But, I could have 80 more if I travel to LAX from JFK and I understand I get a nicer seat.
Assuming 40 TP probably won’t change the world on this occasion. What would you do?

Absolutely LHR-JFK-LAX-LAS
The long hop (and stingy schedule) of JFK-LAS is awful with not a lot of comfort for that far

# I'm reviewing ... the situation ... #
That needs a lot of thought, as hotels and taxis are already booked, but thank you! ^
(Edit = "Just after I've finally engineered Gold renewal for 2018/19!

Are we likely to see the sought after LHR>HEL fares discounted in the Black Friday sale? ��
