Great find with JNB in Jan but also excellent at £1250.
Anyone found any other fantastic deals like this one on other routes ?
Hitting JNB in September/October already thanks to those 90k Iberia Avios.

The sale is now officially on until end January?
Well I managed to get a JMK return in July for like 280 GBP without using my Avios which ended the total at 196 GBP, much better than what I spent last year; like 380 GBP!

is it actually on now?
there is no banner on the website, and looking for flights from YYZ to LHR in March in PE, there has been no change in price. (may be excluded from the sale)?

And not every sale covers every point of sale so its possible LHR-YYZ-LHR is included but not YYZ-LHR-YYZ

Just general commentary on the sale that just ended (wasn't sure where else to post this): I was monitoring Y sale fares to NYC from LON in May. During the middle of the sale the rtn fare I was looking at was £296. In the final days it rose to £336. Sale ended. Now it's being offered at £274. Sale - what sale?!

Were those figures the lowest theoretical fares to NYC on those dates, or just the lowest available fares on the specific flights/dates you needed? The sale applies to lowest theoretical fares, because availability can always scupper your getting the lowest sale fare on a particular flight or date; and sale extensions are a very frequent occurrence. So none of this is unusual or unexpected.

Some of the long haul deals with a car or hotel workout only a £100+ or so more.
e.g NY + 4 nights in a hotel is £1,399 in J.
