Yes. They are quite selective about origin countries. 2 weeks ago there were some good fares from Spain. I’m currently getting prices for a trip and France is by far the cheapest. You just have to do some dummy quotes in Google flights or whatever is your preferred search engine.

Well, LON-GOA is on sale and thus HEL-LON-GOA is pretty competitive, which is a combination of two fares. Didn't really care to look at what they advertised on the website, besides GOA, because the offerings were IMHO meh by and large. The more interesting thing has been the BA snapshot sales that you usually only find by reading FT and alikes.

Not really a sale, can't find anything of particularly good value. Well nothing enough to tempt me. The NY flight sale is a bit of a deception. They only have the latests months available to buy from during the sale, of April/May. For £280. For January/March/Feb the flights are £278 which is the standard price for BA HB to NY. The reason they are allowed to call the April/May as "sale" is because the months most far in the future that you can book with BA, are the most expensive. It's no sale at all.

PVG in Y for £399 is also excellent, and you can upgrade to W on the return for £547 total. Similar prices for PEK.
Anyone worried about whether they can "handle" JFK in Y should probably not be considering PVG though...

LGW WT+ RTN November, £719, £40 cheaper than last year. Not a great discount so (for the first time ever, because I prefer to fly BA) I checked with Norwegian air for their price of equivalent to WT+...limited flight times/days...£939. BA still not a bad deal by comparison.
