Will there be another $199 sale to Europe?

I missed out on the $199 fare to London that BA & AA had this past November.

(edited to add: travel from DFW, not NYC or LAX)

I know last year BA & AA had this sale in November AND January, and I wanted to know if they planned to have the same sale this January.

Has anyone heard of another sale like this?

Thanks.

From the East Coast BA, Vrigin, Lufthansa are all $215 RT plus, most of the other majors are $231 plus (RT). Use the dream maps at Travelocity for the dates.

Thanks for the responses.

Travelocity's lowest RT fare for DFW (Dallas) to LON is $411. And United's fare on their website is $550


When BA had the major sale this past November, it was only $199 RT and all the other airlines slashed their fares as well.

Has anyone heard of another sale planned for January/February of this year?

FYI airlines do NOT announce sales in advance. Never have and never will. Think about it, why would they?

Forget that - I'm still waiting for another $20 "sale."

$189 is the one-way fare, it's actually closer to $500 after fees and taxes. Typical UA "non" sale.

Based on sales history from the last 3 years, I think you will see $199 RT fares from East Coast to Europe and $299 RT fares from West Coast to Europe offered within the next 30 days, if not the next 14 days, for travel before 3/31. Maybe $100 more for travel through 5/31.

When are you traveling? The current crop of cheap US-&gt;Europe fares are for travel before March 25 and must be ticketed by January 16.
