And return for £1,799 and 1200 TPs.

This together with a HNL-LAX-MIA-SJU and return which is available for £962 and 920 TPs would make a heck of a mileage run.
If you really want to milk an extra 70 TP's each way from this, instead of JFK-LAX (3 class service) you can add EWR-LAX (flight AA119) which has only 2 classes, therefore booking into First, awarding 210 TP instead of 140

Looking to go to New York mid December and with the Business and First sale at the moment, two returns in J are cheaper than two returns in Y

Any chance of a domestic sale any time soon? Looking at the fares LHR MAN it seems to be £55 one way (£45 hand luggage only), which seems fairly pricey - or is that normal these days?

The 'fare' aspect of those prices is only £10 so they cant really come down much can they? (The rest is tax, charges and fees etc.)

(£8 for the HLO Fare)

apologies if I'm in the wrong area but ....

I am looking at the following flights in September 2014 and am wondering if this sounds about right or if it sounds like a really good deal and might not last long ...

PHX-CDG Club World returning BCN-PHX Club World for around $3500 USD

thanks!

That's an excellent price for CW. I would take it.

Looks like a reverse ex-EU thing going on. If you take out the jaunt from London to Europe and just price up PHX-LHR it's back up to over $5K.

Just booked the OH's trip to South Africa for Christmas... ex-EU, but unbelievable value:
BCN-LHR-JNB-LHR-BCN (returning on December 31st, so not absolutely ideal) in WT+ for ~£660 (€778). Am I being greedy by hoping for UuA availability?

What was even more unbelievable, is that across a whole week (the week of December 16) the flights where showing prices of €920-something in WT and €427 in WT+. Of course I understand the difference between B and T in terms of flexibility, but still! Return was much the same thing (although from Jan 1) most flights are completely booked out once all of the Saffas start returning to London...

Does anyone have any idea what previous sale fares to DBX have been ? Holding out for a WT+ sale, to fly in March 2014.

Do you mean Dubai (DXB)? If so, I paid £785 in the recent sale for travel in late April (this included an UUA from WTP to J so the actual WTP fare without the additional J taxes was probably closer to £700)
