How could they mix the columns up like that??
Lets hope it doesn't take two weeks to fix, sale might be over by then.

Nice! Just checked a few options on flights to MiA and they don't appear to be on sale from last weeks prices

I presume you've picked up on the fact there's no extra charge from Edinburgh, M'cr etc - its called competition as that's what BA often do - and one of the reasons I flew with them last year rather than VS.

Lol, I thought the mistake is that the Departure Dates column was showing the prices and the price column was showing the travel dates....
They have corrected most now, except for PE on the first page still showing departure dates of £949 ii) ... quicker than 2 weeks, appears it is possible

Well at least they are consistent at this sort of thing!! Maybe they just do it to keep us all entertained and see how long it takes for someone to notice!!

Here's my favourite from the marketing email I was sent this morning:
Cash fares: London to New York economy from £369
Miles Plus Money: London to New York economy from 2,000 miles and £369.
I know M+M is rarely good value, but that's just taking the p***!

That is in fact the mistake I was referring too --- as you further say has now been corrected, I should have posted a screenshot......

In fact on the routes I watch [LHR to Shanghai] the flights from Manchester had previously been about £80.00 cheaper than flights direct from London ..... I have mentioned it in a previous thread.

Wonder if they will ever get their IT sorted out. These kind of silly mistakes have been going on far too long.

How long have they been updating the site now? Even the new bits come full of errors...

Suprised to see £549 flights to LAS in July. Are they really having trouble filling these?
