You are seeing a sale fare, although it's not part of the announced sale which is only for F and J cabins.
The sale fare you're seeing for WT+ (TAP1UK) has this sales restriction:-This underlines that it's not part of the announced sale, which has a "ticket by" date of 4 June 2013.

Those last few posts highlight the nuances of BA "Sales". Sometimes there's a fanfare of trumpets, and something on the BA Home Page. At other times, Revenue Management just slip them quietly under your door, as they only have a few more seats to shift before taking the weekend off.
Then, of course, there are sales by Class of Travel, Region of Destination and/or Origin.
There is never "The Sale", only "A Targeted Sale" … and some additional discounts if you have time to rummage through the bottom shelves at ba.com

Economy & Premium Economy UK Sale Fares Loaded 26th June 2013
New World Traveller & World Traveller Plus fares are now loaded, and the full list is on the blog.
If there are any 'bargains' it looks like Colombo and perhaps Chengdu in WT, along with Jo'burg in WTP. Otherwise, most fares are higher than the last Y/W Sale (December 2012).
Book by 16th July 2013 for various travel dates.

THanks Continentalclub.
I had been tracking some destiations for WTP, but the differences are really small.
By the way - I like the fares for NYC and YZZ - £787 to coincide with the 787 launch destinations

Not sure if this is a sale fare or not, but I'm just looking at LHR-SFO in WTP for £885.00. LAS available at £915. Seems that if you can couple this with a UUA it would make a pretty cheap deal?

Yes, they are the sale fares and yes, subject to availability, they're UUA-able.

Economy & Premium Economy UK Sale Fares Loaded 28th August 2013
New World Traveller & World Traveller Plus fares are now loaded, and the full list is, as usual, on the blog.
Taking a broad overview, North American WT sale fares this time are about 3.6% lower than in the last sale, and WTP fares are on average 2.9% lower.
There are also some CW fares, including NYC from £1514 return, but these are (at least at the moment) fairly scattered and comparable to other promo fares that have come and gone in recent weeks.
For the 'main' sale fares, book by 24th September for various travel dates between 15th September 2013 and 22nd June 2014.

I haven't been able to keep this thread up to date as much as I would have wanted over the last year or two - just haven't had as much time available to contribute to FT that I used to.
(don't woryy, still been able to do many MFUs (old skool) and 2-4-1 Firsts)
Anyway - would anyone like to take this thread on and maintain it? I still see value in it (I often refer to it myself - the sales cadence hasn't changed much over the years, just the pricing!)
I'm sure the mods can make the first posts editable etc for other folks?
