I noticed these as well. Seems like they were left running after the recent cw sale. I think that they may be a price match. Anyway, looked in the fare rules on ita and you need to book by 15 August. Am very tempted to book a trip to NYC in early January but so far have managed to resist.

You know, I think the Advertising Standards Authority would be interested in this pattern of behaviour. BA repeatedly advertises sales as ending on day X, and very regularly extends them for a week or two. It could be construed as misleading advertising on the inference that they intended to extend the sale all along but were advertising an earlier closing date to get people to buy.

.They won't be interested at all, you'd probably find yourself up for their annual internal daftest complaint of the year award
