I see: ZRH-SEA and ZRH-HNL(!) as well. Does BA have a new destination?


...Okay, I know that last leg is on AA.

My list was of the destinations of the mini Y sale ex-LON that's started today and apparently ends on 6 June.

Trying to avoid that - I'm actually going to SEA and saw cheaper SFO flights as an opportunity to:

a) Avoid the connecting flights via AC I was planning on getting for £750ish - the appeal of SFO being it's easier to get reasonably priced directs.
b) Use the saving (at the time of deciding there were £550ish returns in October I was hoping might spread to September) to extend the trip and take in NorCal at the same time.

I plan to wait until 2 months till my out date and then just fall back on the AC flights.
Just seems so much this time - I go every year and this will be my most expensive flight ever. Last West Coast run was £470 to LAX and that was a non-sale fare after missing some that were even cheaper!

How things change, eh!

In which case, you can get the BA sale fare on AA metal non-stop on the way out if you can fly to LAX. You can then get back from SFO on BA metal, eg something like the following for £620.75:-

04 Sep LHR-LAX BA1508 (ops AA)
25 Sep SFO-LHR BA286

Or, seeing as you have to bridge a gap with a connection anyway, if you go out on BA metal via ORD, you could get something like this for £587.75:-

04 Sep LHR-ORD BA295
25 Sep SFO-LHR BA286

I have the same email... the text says the EUR50 off is good on any transatlantic with BA, IB or AA, so long as it's booked via BA.com using the voucher code.

I've been pricing out Europe to Argentina R/Ts, and BA out with IB back is giving me the best fares (and would seem to be covered by this offer). What I can't get, however, is BA.com to offer any IB flights! It would seem strange that the email explicitly says the EUR50 off is valid for flights booked on IB or AA if it's impossible to buy them on BA.com... and you need to book using BA.com go get the discount.

Anyone know how to do this??

Hello all

Is there a possibility of an ex-UK WTP sale going live at the end of the ongoing premium cabin sale?

I actually just looked up this thread thinking the same thing. In years past a Y/Y+ sales did follow on from the F/J one but anything is possible.

Historically I seem to book UK-US in WTP in July/August for the following May - with UuA to CW always available at the same time.

However, BA seems a little less predictable these days.

Am I seeing a WT+ sale emerging? East coast US fares seem to be coming down a little, with NYC at £883.

Mid-week advanced purchase fares it seems. No dates in the sales restrictions to indicate a sale fare.

Does the Xmas period get included in sales?
Looking at flying to New York on the 14th Dec and naturally the present sale is up to the 13th Dec.
