Next BA Sale?

I assume the sale will return around mid-May time? Trying to schedule my 2023 long haul and obviously any deals will be most welcome!

I can assure you that it's clear there may or may not be a sale in May


More seriously the crystal ball is frankly taking a break atm after being used too much over the last few years during the pandemic. I don't think anyone knows when the next sale will be, or if there is one what form it will take.

Honestly never had a BA Sale where i've found a fare that's bagged me a bargain anyway. The best deals i've found have typically just been on the off chance (Same with all Airlines, why I probably spend an hour a day browsing!)

I find the real value around sale time can be in multi city holidays, particularly using the knowledge of this forum to maximise. Particularly with the double TP it's a real sweet spot.

Yes I have plugged my proposed trips into google flights and will watch to see how things move so I know whether any "sale" is actually a sale or not. I'm not holding my breath but a few quid here and there adds up.

Was a bit lost for options for my Trip to Thailand last year. I threw in a few dates and looked at SIN and it was coming up really cheap, looked at F and got a great deal at around £3k ish, no sale, just got lucky!

The service and food have already been brought in line, but the real question is when Ryanair will be able to secure funding.

Huge demand. Limited supply. Reduced routes. Spiralling fuel costs. Don’t expect a sale any time soon.

Currently, that thread is the second result from this single-word search or the fourth result from this single-word search.

I have clearly been rumbled as a complete tech Neanderthal. I’ll delete my account forthwith,

Sale is on now, but only on PUCCI or KARFA routes. Being on the same flight as them will always be worth the money because, for one, brief, shining moment they turn BA into Camelot.
( I am not being sarcastic, you are both just worthwhile and educative to read)
