I got the mail too - but I think it was only WT+, CE CW and F.

Anyone know if there's any chance RTWs will be included? I need to book a DONEX and it would be great if it was.

You might be better off catching a flight to Tunisia, Israel or Jordon and start there for 18% or more saving compared with UK (not including taxes). For even greater savings you can start in South Africa, Namibia, Sudan or Saudi Arabia.

Good luck,

WT+ sale fares loaded on route I was looking at (LHR-BOS), about £120 cheaper than a couple of days ago.

Looks like LHR - JFK CW loaded too - £1,650 instead of £2,190 that they were yesterday (interesting that LCY - JFK aren't discounted).

Not a great sale then.
£2190 was prohibitive pricing or what a flex fare should be.

That sale price is about £500 more than it was 2 or 3 years ago.

I won't be biting.

OT - without you good folk with eyes like hawks and noses for bargains (or maybe nothing better to do to pass the time of day - but that would be uncivil) I for one would miss out on these as like as not.

So a BIG XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

to all of you.

NYC coming in at £582 for W- not bad if you can find redemption avalibility and MFU (good luck with that one...)

TLV - £460.

Ouch!. The non-sale I-fare was £1800 not so long ago, and last year I got a CW return to NYC for under £900 in a sale.

Competition on that route seems very poor now. Continental allegedly offer a good service but their fares haven't been very good either this year. VS seem to keep their fares in step with BA. Real pity that EOS and Silverjet went under (funny that BA offered a lot of cheap MFUs and sale fares until those companies got killed off).

Indeed I can't understand some peoples excitement on here.
I just priced hkg return in club and it's a whopping £3147

And wt+ to j mfu availability is as rare as hens teeth now to jfk aswell so I can't understand any excitement if one wants to go that route either.
