This 2015/16 thread is now closed. The 2017 thread is:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/british-airways-executive-club/1818553-premium-fare-deals-j-f-2017-edition.html

A collaborative collection and discussion of nice Avios-earning and TP-earning J & F premium fare deals. This thread is not for TP runs or published sales.
Some links to relevant threads can be found below.

Enjoy your Premium Experience.

FIRST CLASS - RTM/AMS/BRU to West Coast (SFO, SAN, YVR, SEA) starting at £2330... (just click on the book with American link to get the good price. )
Oneworld: Italy and various EU to New York in club €1250
CONSOLIDATED QR 2017 Travel Festival Fares
Current QR Sale Fares (yes, I did...)
QR/UL FRA-MLE via DOH+CMB: 1380€ RT across the board. 640 TP.
Switzerland/Italy/Sweden to East & West Coast USA in WTP (PE) €600/690 (3x Avios)
LHR-Asia/Oz for £1100/1500 on MH
Finnair J, ARN / GOT - BKK, 1150 GBP return (valid till Jan 9th)
TXL and Portugal to JNB for £1350/1450 on BA discussed from post 5021 onwards..

For promos to the US (often, but TP heavy routes in general) it is always a good idea to look at BA Tier Point Runs 2017 master thread. Current sales are often in the Wiki there.

Ahh gotcha, thanks. I was expecting a lot more trickery haha.

Mine booked into A class on the LAX-MIA segment and looks like it's being operated by a 763

Ex-OSL to USA
Just stumbled upon some great prices ex-OSL in J to various US destinations:

NYC £1,350
SEA £1,600
LAX £1,400 (A380!)
Plus many more

You can then reduce further with Avios i.e 22,500 for c. £150 off

My searches were based on early June and included a Sat night stay

That's just the existing exDUB advanced purchase fare ILN8S4E1 that has been around for months and is listed at the top of the wiki of the TP run thread. It's not new. Details here http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/26131524-post487.html

Sorry Karfa - my mistake then, just saw the prices posted for other routes and thought relevant to note.

I finally got an open jaw fare in J to YYC//SEA ex MAN over xmas and new year. Was also offered £800 off for parting with 120k Avios (assume that is £200 x 4 pax). Also found out that Avios part payment cannot be uua'd which is fair enough. Worked out to £1158 each for 2 adults and 2 children. I think that represented good value when we had very fixed dates. Thanks to everyone for the pointers on the MAN sale fares.

It doesn't, but importantly they do not seem to be excluded. I have certainly applied GUFs to part pay with avios bookings before so I would be very surprised if you couldn't do a UuA.
