All FRA, DUS, MUC etc. showing similar fares. Some are slightly cheaper but ultimately the positioning flight would probably determine the best location (cost wise at least).
I will certainly be playing around with this... looking for a TP run in the summer to include BA001.

The Low Fare Finder can lag the actual loading of fares slightly, but in your case I don't think it's an issue as, per the fare rules:
What we seem to be looking at is a premium sale with outbound dates that cover multiple 'holiday' periods in one go, rather than the usual one-at-a-time scenario. As your outbound date is in a non-holiday period, you're looking at more normal fares.

Seems I've answered my own question lol.

Fortunately the OH spotted the latest inputs on this thread … thank you FT, as always!!
Jersey>LGW>Jamaica in CW for £999 [almost the some price in WT+) next Jan/Feb, and fortunately coinciding with a 2-for-1/50% offer at the Sandals resort we want. Net cost £5,200 for 10 days AI luxury and winter warmth - booking later once she gets back from lunch!
(Edit: Booked with BA Holidays. Price tracking over the last year or more had this combination coming in at between £6.8 and £8.5, so a really good deal.)

I don't spend a ton of time on the BA forums, so this may already be out there, but there's 10% off BA flights if you have the Chase BA Visa:

As Globaliser says, route details would be useful in checking your particular fare.

Just booked MAN-ORD-DFW-TPA (I,A,A) and MCO-DFW-ORD-MAN (A,A,I) return for £1600 and 520TPs over Christmas, so we can either fly drive in Florida or take a cruise with NCL. Good step towards renewing my Gold.

Checked on Friday and quoted an excellent 2000 euro from SNN-LHR-PEK, for July trip. Now it is back to normal, did they load just a few seats in this premium sale? I have checked numerous dates and all fares are back to non-sale fares. Any ideas if the sale fares may reappear?

Just noticed some excellent WTP fares to BKK in May, June, September and October of just £899.
Not sure whether it's a competitor match, sale or whatever... but in the last sale WTP was £1,200 and I don't recall seeing WTP fares anywhere near this low since at least 2009.
So if you don't mind going a bit off-season, it's hard to resist!
