As of mid-night, some pretty useful sale fares announced.

Even from April 1st to June 22nd 2012 >> just for Neil.

Some really excellent fares this time around !!

If you click on UC USA on the special offers section, there is a youtube video embedded on the top of the page, is that new?

Edit : in fact there are travel destination videos on all the USA links and the Dubai link, pretty cool !

Yee ha, thanks for posting!

The T&C are very restrictive though - nothing can be changed once you book.
When I buy a flex ticket I never need to change it and when I buy a non-changable ticket I always get stuck. Why is that ?

Thanks y)

Although the so called sale prices are still very high ii)

Ooooo excellent! The dates I wanted are now included!

So, now the dates I want are £911 in PE Man to MCO, while M+M for the same dates are £998. Very strange way of rewarding the miles you gain over the years. I'm not complaining as £911 is a good price - I just find it weird.

You do find that with M+M fares when sales are on - more often then not the sale fare can be cheaper than the M+M fare. During non sale periods then the M+M can offer a saving, but it is always worth checking.

I dont see sale prices anywhere, jfk upper £1700 is hardly a sale? neither is dubai £1700.
I think im going to wait for the real sale when ever that is to come round, probably dec thru jan which is consistantly the best price.

cheers

Tokyo for approx £900 in PE is tempting...

Thanks for the heads up guys, just managed to book PE to Orlando late March, using 60,000 airmiles and 2 upgrade vouchers for £636 for both of us. Quite pleased with that. In the bubble on the way out, but unable to choose our seats for the way back - maybe something to do with the re-fits as it is April.

Same deal I booked a couple of weeks ago - it works out a very cheap way to fly PE y)

The lack of seat map because of the refits should only affect flights from the 1st April - so if your return is after then and due to be on a 747, that will be the issue.

£ 1,700 to NYC on VS is a pretty good price - it's normally £ 2,200 ish. Both Delta and Swiss are doing LHR-NYC for that at the moment (Swiss via ZRH) so it's on a par with other airlines.


I think the days of regular £1,500 fares to NYC are long gone (though someone did get for the end of this monnth)

I really don't think £1700 is a good 'sale' fare to NYC. There still seems to be quite regular fares under £1500 (and by quite a bit at times) in various sales over the past year.

Yes flight prices have gone up in the last year, but NYC is a heavily populated route with lots of competition, and I would expect to see much lower fares being offered in future sales.

About 2 years ago, they were doing 1K UC to NY, and I decided against taking them up. If I saw that now, I'd grab it though, but to me, thats a sale price, or 1.2K...

Have we checked the old AMSTERDAM leg with these fares?

I'm disapointed with the sale as it does not include GLA-MCO.

At the moment its cheaper for me to go with BA via gatwick from GLA

The prices from AMS aren't usually affected by a VS sale, seem to stay as they are, and from a quick look around it looks like that's the case this time too.

However, there are fares of less than £950 in business from LHR to NYC.. if you fancy Kuwait airways that is haha :0

If you can fill planes with pax paying 'normal' fares then no need to have a sale on that route.

We've just took advantage of the sale fares for MAN/MCO in UC Just got of the phone with the premier team and managed to get our Xmas fights upgraded with the sale fare.

I'm pretty sure not all MAN-MCO nor LGW-MCO flights are full yet there is a sale on, my flights this year were not full?

what do people think to a price of around 835 quid in PE from MAN to MCO? I'm umming and ahhing about buying.

Miss G , sounds pretty reasonable to me - I would go for it if it was me.

Jon

Seems like a deal to me.
Get in whilst you can.

I wish I could get my JNB flights in the sale!..route is always too busy though. ?|
