Any forward chat about tomorrow’s deals?

A bit of long haul economy won’t hurt if it’s £100 each way.

I fly back on the 5th, result!

Rio and either Phoenix or Philadelphia (and whichever one it isn't will be on Thu). Apparently.
tedcruz and george77300 like this.

Yep. Done it before. Flew to Sydney in economy (although I spent a few days in Singapore each way), flown to Asia many times. I often have status now though; having lounges and other silver perks helps. I can't always afford to fly business class and rate travelling more important than avoiding economy.

Rio sounds interesting. Phoenix and Philadelphia sound very predictable and likely. Any ideas for the fourth and final destination?

I'm just annoyed I missed CPT. Likely the same story tomorrow and Thursday though...

@ adrianlondon - all sensible points ^

Easy to forget sometimes that economy class tickets are what the overwhelming majority of flyers actually buy.

Just because you won't do it does not mean that others would not either. Think of people that cannot afford to travel in the premium cabins but would jump at the chance of a cheap break regardless of it being long haul economy in a full cabin.

Very valid point above.

Many people unfortunately can’t afford J or F. And depending on what your use to Y can be ok.

I know if Y was all I could afford I would certainly fly it over not flying at all. Off course I much prefer J but not always available.

For £200 return in Y I would jump at that and will today and tomorrow and hope I get lucky.

Ive paid over £200 for a Y return from EDI-LHR before!!

In a narrow seat B789, B772 it’s a no. The pair at the back of a B772 is ok, I’ve done a 13 hour flight sat there.

How have people been snagging these deals? On the desktop version of low fare finder at midday?

I was refreshing the app and did some searches yesterday at bang on midday and found nothing.

Here’s the link https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/offers/sale/sale-100

Refresh at 12 noon and it updates advising the 2 destinations and travel periods.
