I am on a mobile just now so can’t check Matrix easily (and wouldn’t get into the US, given current Covid restrictions, anyhow), but does that mean that the more lucrative ex-LUX/BRU TP runs that were discussed on the thread over the last few days have also dropped in price?

I just checked and this is also available albeit slightly more expensive - circa €850 departing late December so New Year in Miami a possibility I’m looking at.

This is a tidy fare! Can I assume a B2B can be fairly easily done in LUX if booking onto the 11.10am BA417 departure from LUX to LHR - I would be traveling HBO?

yes it has unfortunately firstclasslad - as KARFA said, it was a fairly short lived but very popular promotion.
However my concern now is whether the LUX part sticks, as European flights do seem to be getting canned. We shall see. I’m due to fly end of December, so its a waiting game.
Sadly LHR is 315 or so miles from LUX so I might need a VERY nice agent on the phone to let me drop LUX if it gets cancelled, via the 300 mile rule.
BRU, AMS or CDG are options, but it might not work for connections for my MIA flight..... Sadly the FTV isn’t going to be that useful, as it was a cheap as chips ticket - €900 or so and I don’t think I’ll find another J return to MIA for that at the moment.

I suspect there may be some decent Black Friday offers for travel in the near term.... if this is the case, book a route which you suspect may get the chop / cut back and then shunt into the future using the rebooking guidelines to fly when you actually want to ..

clearly I've been lazy keeping up with things, particularly this aspect of rebooking....how does it work?
