BA First INV to PHL £1999
 

On google flights, I have found a great deal for this route in November on various dates but when I go through to BA to purchase, the offer is never there.
Has anyone else encountered this before or know what is going on?
FT won’t let me post the link but the dates are 2 November to 10 November.
Cheers

Priceline works. If it matters Chicago is ~$400USD cheaper. Not sure about other cities.

Definitely looks like a Google Flights bug. No other OTA shows that fare. Interesting that Biz class is $1787 while first shows as $2679(£1,999) via BA, yet on the pricing page it shows as $4551 on the AA site. Clicking through to BA it shows the lowest price is £1700 each direction.
What can I say? Computers are terrible, software is the worst. :D

Good find! I checked justfly, momondo, kayak and all had higher prices. Good luck if you buy it!

This was a great deal, particularly to ORD where it was £12xx return in J and ~£200 more each way for First. Unfortunately it probably proved too popular with a lot of people in the UK taking advantage of the easy & cheap positioning to Inverness from Heathrow. The First deal was pulled a few weeks ago but I think the J price is still available for certain booking windows.

The price is helped by no UK Air Passenger Duty for flights originating in INV (£156) but this was only a small part of the fare difference compared to an LHR/MAN/EDI etc. departure.

I think you're probably falling victim to Google Flights relying on historical search prices for the initial results although there were reports of people still being able to ticket the F deal through OTA's (AmEx in particular) for a while after BA pulled the fare.

I bought it 5 weeks ago. Unfortunately ~$100USD cheaper now.

if you’re willing to book far enough in advance, you can get INV-ORD in F <£1.7k in March 2019 (not sure exact dates sorry!)
