Afternoon all,

It's not quite 1st April, but VS have published some UC sale prices. Is it me or does £2087 sound a little steep to NY?

Think that is a typo. The actual UC sale price for NYC is £1488.

Me look at same thing as JAF, definitely saying £2,087. Where's sale price of £1,488?

Hi Apple,

If you actually do a booking, the price matrix shows that the cheapest price is currently £1488 between the dates stated on the sale fare information page.

It just looks like someone at VS has typed in the wrong information. NYC is nearly always the cheapest UC destination, especially during sales, so for it to be listed at £400 more than other East Coast destinations, and only £200 less than SFO just isn't correct.

I looked last night and it came up as the £1488 in the price / date matrix.

If you think there's a mistake, just check BA. If it's different by more than £1 then yes, there's an issue.
