Germany-KUL then PRG-Mexico then WAW-Caribbean... at this point I wouldn't consider any future low-priced F fare as a "mistake fare". Doesn't help that their fare basis has always included "SALE" as well. Just my opinion. I didn't book any of these fares even though I noticed it a few minutes after each thread was started.

Do I need a UK VISA to go from LHR to LGW for same day transit flight?
I've transited couple of times thru LHR no visa required obviously, but never changed airports before.

Self dump and 3x mean it was likely a convoluted route with multiple airlines so the fuel surcharge didn't get taken. Whole other thread under mileage run if you want to get into that - but wouldn't view as in anyway applicable to a vanilla fare such as this

So, in your opinion, there is no reason for BA not to honour these, right? The fare is not even comparable to the one to SYD last week.

At this point, who knows. If BA is legitimately putting out ultra-low fares and then claiming it was a mistake, I'm sure they would be investigated eventually by a relevant authority. If they claim all of these have been mistakes and they legitimately have been mistakes, then they really need to hire new staff or improve their programming because whatever department uploads fares is opening the company up to a lot of unnecessary scrutiny.

Ok, I see your question hasn't been answered yet, and you draw out attention to BAs Caribbean operations even if BA is not sure whether it wants to sell those tickets at that price or not. Sadly train travel logic does not apply to air travel. You cannot get off at an intermediate stop and demand your luggage. You cannot jump out off a plane to parachute yourself into Iceland on a cheap fare between North America and Europe either even without checked luggage.

Hey, someone used their brain! ^
If this was an actual mistake fare they would have pulled it already.
I don't get how I can figure that out within 1 month of being here and yet this forum is flooded with jaded posts from people that have been here for years and haven't figured out this simple fact.

BA didn't cancel the Bratwurst fares for a couple of days after the fare was pulled. On some of the RGN fares a couple of years ago, LX cancelled tickets whilst people were flying the tickets (people successfully flew RGN-SIN-ZRH in F and then were denied boarding at ZRH by LX - on the same ticket).
The only thing certain about mistake fares is that nothing is certain until you have completed your return and your miles have posted.

Two questions for the forum here (seems the fare is still alive)
- is it fair to book my family into first given I am traveling with small kids. Never feel awkward about business, but first...
- the BA GND flight stops in UVF where I prefer to be (but price doesn't apply), any way to get off (and yes I may have luggage someone will need to collect)
