So if you can use the 15% shareholders discount in the sale it could mean some good savings!^

Interesting - so soon after the Club sale last month.
Has F ever been on sale (aside from the 'book fully flex return Club get free one way upgrade' promotion)?

Good spot! Almost certainly right. Thanks!This one is an annual event. It may be Y and W only - normally that is what gets heavy promotion, and IIRC is not necessarily tied to a premium cabin sale although there's very often been a concurrent one.

In the recent CW sale, F was being offered from 500 on top of the CW fare for the US ( albeit not advertised much)

SEA in WT+ is still the same as yesterday and a few days before - around £770. Not too bad anyway.
[added later]Just found out that this is indeed the sale fare. Sale ends on 27 January.

Looks like some savings on CE, with savings of 20/30 on flights to IST, CDG and PRG in the Spring - the upgrade amount from Y has stayed about the same, but the base Y fare is lower.
Edited later:
After some more thought, it is more likely that the lower fares are due to the reduction in fuel surcharges
