You'll need to book as 2 separate tickets.

My bad, it's to BCN!

Cheapest around that time seems to be £204 and you'd need to head to BCN on 22/5 (any later increases the price considerably).

You can get it down as low as £184.00 for 120 TP routing via MAD, plenty of availability;

Unfortunately not, I was suggesting more as a worthwhile TP run for your wife.

Hope you find the right booking for your FAO trip!

Apologies if anyone has posted this elsewhere (I can't see it if they have).

The BA Winter sale is up and running although you wouldn't know it just by looking at the homepage right now.

Here's a taster:

First Class Deals to the US:
  • Boston – From £2,315
  • Chicago – From £1,874
  • Las Vegas – From £2,790
  • Miami – From £2,649
  • Nashville – From £1,793
  • New York – From £2,024
  • San Francisco – From £2,555
  • San Jose – From £2,455
  • Seattle – From £2,227
  • Washington D.C. – From £1,890
Business Class deals to the US:
  • Boston – From £1,478
  • Chicago – From £1,474
  • Las Vegas – From £1,721
  • Los Angeles – From £1,763
  • Miami – From £1,676
  • Nashville – From £1,377
  • New York – From £1,476
  • Orlando – From £1,660
  • San Francisco – From £1,583
Lots of fares available to other destinations too although the US looks best for First and Business - best fares are for travel in the summer.

Hope some of you can make the most of these - I've got my eye on the First Class fare to Seattle

Anyone seeing anything for travel ex-US? Trying to get to AMS/BRU or really anywhere in western Europe in February in C/F from the east coast of the US, and I'll I can find is $8-10k round trip fares, even with a Saturday night stayover.

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction of anywhere that works a Class crossover fare on a multi city. IE CDG - HKG in PE then BKK to AMS in Business.

Also, ive noticed on Map version of Google Flights when i do a LGW/LHR Business search in next 6 months on Kingston it shows a best price of £1400+ but if i go into specific dates and use the price graph there are £1200 flights in there. Is this a glitch and could i be missing out on J fares at the price i want by using the map and flexible dates option ?

Yes.

Calculating the lowest possible price is quite computationally expensive. The wider your search, the less likely you are to find it.
