I thought UC was doing really well. So no need to discount further?

Thanks for the heads up on UC fares to the UC, they're not really invigorating, but better than normal and the date range is good, through to August 2011:

New York £1,689
Boston £1,859
Washington £1,859
Los Angeles £2,239
San Francisco £2,469
Chicago £1,989
Miami £2,109
Las Vegas £2,537

Maybe they will come, maybe Africa is doing well enough.

Was looking at SFO for my annual jaunt. God be with the days when you could a UC sale fare for less than €2K. It's now nearly €3K n(

Surprised to see the dates as far out as August. Was hoping for September, but I suppose that's too much to hope for. Miles plus money deals don't look bad though, am sorely tempted.....

£2500 to Vegas seems a bit steep!
I'd rather fly to NYC, book a nice internal flight, fly back from Vegas and probably end up with £500 in my pocket.

I could have sworn that Vegas deals went into May/June. They are not there now - it's about 1150-1350 for PE.

Given that I paid ~1750ea for Z+K for our shopping trip two weeks ago, this sale does not look too good. ISTR that the k+k was 960each.

I also see that PE is available for DXB in Aug/Sept, but no Z yet. I hope that comes soon or I might have to look to the dark side.

Very strange no matter what dates I use I can't get the sale prices for LHR to LAX, BA have exact matching prices for the virgin sale rates.

Why publish a sale price if there are no seats at that price?
