Some of the economy isn't great still, but its the best sale for Upper that they've had for about 6 months...

Some nice upper fares, though pretty restrictive on the dates! 21 July - 2 Sep. the BA sale has offers into October.

Also can't find availability, tried Orlando and new York, and not finding those fares, Orlando showed no flights and new York £2168 during the sale dates not the £1200 it suggests! Maybe they are not loaded yet!

The correct fares have *JUST* been loaded.

I've just done a dummy booking for New York at the end of August and it shows £2399.18 for two people. I had to go as far as the flight itinary page to see it, the fare matrix showed £2168.59 each.

I'm still seeing £1,674 as cheapest for LHR-JFK. No sign of a £1,200 fare yet...

Yeah I was on the phone waiting to book a Miami trip and whilst waiting on hold while the agent found out where these mysterious fares were being hidden, they appeared on her booking screen.

It matched the exact BA fare to MIA though I was sorely tempted by a outbound upgrade to BA First for a smallish upgrade.

£1590 UC to LAX in August. Shame no change on September and October. Wonder if they will release those later?

Because that route is not included in the current BA fare sale perhaps? Lol :P

Or maybe they are predicting more fuel shortages at MAN ?|

Or because they can sell seats at the pre-sale prices - or indeed maybe have already done so

Just upgraded return PE flights from LHR to LAX for £314pp (covers both legs). Bit of a bargain. Looking forward to first UC trip!

The prices for Z fares to YVR that appear to have just been released are cheaper than the K fares I already have. Up until today, there was an Upgrade My Booking link in Manage My Booking for about £700 each way. That has disappeared.

Am I likely to be able to upgrade if I call? I ask only as I'm currently away and don't want to waste cell phone credit unless it is likely to be productive!

Did you try a dummy booking ? According to the website the sale fares are only for departures until the end of June and even then I can't see anything under 2.5k :(!

I've got a feeling you'd end up with a free Z, they were ok for me to upgrade the 100 quid return from a cheap PE to a discounted Z last christmas...

There are no guarentees that (a) any sale fares will be available on your dates and (b) if there are that they are any still left when you get back home.

If you have internet access you could try a 'live chat' and the agent could at least check for you.

A dummy booking is giving me the sales fares - I hadn't noticed the dates on the sales page.
