Haven't checked in a few months, and now that I actually need it, it appears to have disappeared.
Has anyone seen the cheap IKA-US fares for $1500 recently, or has that sweet spot been closed?

I think ubiiest meant choosing cheapest with the f bc= option in place. Does your route include segments without PE available?

Not BA but Latam,
ROM (Rome All Airports) to SCL (Santiago Chile) £1350 in J on Latam.
ROM (Rome All Airports) to SCL (Santiago Chile) £1350 in J on Latam.
- Needs to be Latam on the TATL Book by 7th July
- Valid routings include via LHR on BA, GRU on Latam each way not had a chance to play with other options
- Unlimited Transfers
- 3 Stopovers (1st Free then $100)
- TATL books into Z
- 767
- Ambiguity whether Z now earns anything on Latam due to the TP Calculator pages on BA.com, It might be an error on the website but take this into consideration if TPs are important. @megaloman has put this to BA but heard nothing back yet

Cant seem to find anything really good for travel to USA West coast for September. Waiting for a BA Sale ( lol ) but need to press the button fairly soon.
ARN - LAX, via LHR at £1,932 is best I can find. Before I book - wondered if there were any other options I should look at? HAve tried DUB, AMS, OSL, MAD, etc
Algeirs - LAX via Madrid is £1300 - but not worth the visa/immigration hassle?!
Thanks FT.

Realistically you have a couple of months to decide on the ex-OSL fare, so it may be worth holding out and seeing if QR do some daft sale in the meantime.

thanks @Wozza2404 , and when I add on a J fare from ORD - LAX then I get close to the ARN fare of about 1900. I'll see if there are better options from ORD to West coast, because INV-ORD at 1300 is good. Thanks for your help!

For all those going ex-INV, how are you getting there? Every time I've looked at positioning flights they've been quite expensive. For my trip next year I ended up settling on Avios to get up there..... Is LON-EDI plus train another option, albeit much more time consuming for possibly not much more saving?

If you are based in Glasgow, Aberdeen or Edinburgh then train,
When I go exINV (Gla Based) I can get the train usually in advance from around £11
