BA: France - Canada €275! ai

There will be strikes if this gets called off. Half of france will grind to a halt.

There will even be people outside the houses of quebec protesting about human rights, so this better not be another BA 'mistake'. The poor work experience kid has already been bog-washed twice this month. Next they'll have to take away his free lunches.

I am finding the dates and fares I want on Kayak (for example ORY>LHR>YVR>LHR>ORY fro €307) but when I click through to the BA site the prices skyrocket.

How are you guys booking this?

A little help here, please.

Doesn't everyone know this is impossibly low and BA can't possibly intend to sell any tickets at this price? Won't someone think of The World's most ineffective revenue management Favourite Airline! Only crooks and thieves on the internet would book this :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: .

although it would probably be much wiser to fire the ones (at Revenue Management) that they have...

How can I check if my flight's been ticketed? Not like it matters for cancellations...

My pleasure :)

Back to the topic, ba.com is pricing CDG-DFW-YVR-LHR-ORY on AA/BA metal 339 EUR for French All Saints holidays. Not a bad deal.

these fares are useless. BA will simply cancel your tickets after issuing an eticket

And you will wait ages to get back the money into your credit card :td:

As these are Economy fares (and not 90% OFF regular price), this will be most likely honored if it is a mistake at all.

Booked
 
Just booked 4 tickets and called BA to upgrade using avios. Lady told me it was not possible to upgrade with avios because this was their cheapest possible fare (S).
I asked if this may be a mistake fare because I read some things about BA cancelling fares. She told me there were some problems with F fares but in this case there was no error/mistake.

We have our tickets now. Will just wait a few weeks for booking possitioning flights to be absolutely sure...

Would be a great deal to travel so far with the kids!

First, yay - you call them! Second, how would anyone at Reservations/BAEC exactly know that it's not an error...

FWIW, the fare (at least to YYC) is also good over new year's eve. Thought about doing it, but will wait for another sale/error (on another carrier then for sure...)

I'm pretty sure this is not an error fare, and if so they will be honoured but having confirmation from somebody at BA just doesn't cut it anymore. The confirmation I need is when I'm actually on the plane itself. For both the Germany and Prague fares people were assured via several BA channels that they would be able to travel (booked spa appointments, changed itineraries etc...) And they cancelled anyway.
