Got a reasonable deal for 12 nights around Feb half term to UVF (St Lucia), although not much left now judging from EF.

I've just booked BHX-YYC on a VS Codeshare with KLM for Ł1278 18th Dec - 2nd Jan. I'll take that as zero faff involved and I don't have to fly via DFW. Nothing even remotely close to that with BA, not even Ex INV

Got (what I consider) to be a very good deal for March next year. Was originally looking at LHR-IAD in F and positioning from DUB but it turned out to add BHD-LHR to the booking only added Ł4. Then added in hotel and got the Ł100 BA hols discount
So;
BHD-LHR J
LHR-IAD F
PHL-ORD J
ORD-LHR
LHR-BHD
4 nights in Washington & 4 in Philadelphia
Ł2075 per person
Could have taken the direct PHL-LHR but I needed the extra 40points to retain Gold
So;
BHD-LHR J
LHR-IAD F

ORD-LHR
LHR-BHD

Also just found/booked DUB-LHR-SIN on BA o/b 20-DEC i/b 10-JAN in J for GBP1662. Not the worst price for this routing at this time of year.

That holiday deal should trigger the Amex 3000 avios for those who have it. Assuming 2 pax

Any idea when is the best time/next sale to book London to New York, traveling April 2020?
Travelling in WT/WT+ or CW if a deal.
Will there likely be a sale end of Aug?

Recently BA had some flash sales time and again in between their main sales but tended to be location specific. They get flagged here and some travel blogs when they are on.

Probably but as has been mentioned a few times on this forum, a sale doesn't always mean the best price available. I'd keep a monitor on Google Flights for the dates you want.

BA has a sale in August / September every year for the last 5 years as far as I can remember, perhaps even 10 years back.

I just landed MAN-LHR-BOS-LHR-MAN in J (I fare) for two people, outbound in July, return in September, at 950 quid each. Mistake fare? Doesn't matter, I have ticket numbers!
