Spectacular indeed! If you don't mind an extra stop or two, see also INV-PDX (Portland) on similar dates, also £250.

The excellent ex-CH BA WT+ fare between ZRH/BSL/GVA and several US destinations is back.

Specifically, ZRH-LHR-NYC-LHR-ZRH coming in at 738 CHF or £549. Perfect for using some Avois to upgrade to J.

Wonder if there is a minimum stay requirement on the fare... At the moment, I can't find a price to match for a weekend.

Got it. ^

Seem to be some good WT+ fares ex DUB as well. 650 euros for NYC... And not too much more for West coast and Texas.

Just noticed that DUB-LHR-GIG-LHR-DUB in WT+ for May (possibly other months available) has just price dropped to £967 return (was a staggering £1,870 yesterday).

That is a very good price, Normally a premium route,

We are £1500 in J and only because we are leaving from OSL which is far less convenient!

I thought I'd resurrect a thread, not a popular one I admit.

Ok, I'd love some help, so we are trying to find the cheapest fare in either WT or WTP (whichever comes out better value) for this route... XXX > LON > JFK > MIA > LON > XXX. Dates are outbound 20-23th Dec 2018 (flexible on that) and return on Jan 13th back from MIA. We require checked luggage as a cruise is involved. The latest BF sale was out of our price bracket unfortunately.

Has anyone seen any decent fares out there or have any tips?

Thanks.

I'm seeing a few ex-EU options for around £570 in Y, or about £100 more ex-LON, so nothing very exciting price-wise. Anything in WT+ looks poor value...

Hi...
I kinda bumped into you in Malaga once ( I think ) and assumed from your handle that you are based in Gibraltar. With that in mind there is some reasonable deals in Y from AGP via LIS on Tap for under €500.
