Saw this on HFP earlier today and very tempted!
There are business class flights LHR-USA on VS/DL selling for around £1.1k. Seems to be on BA direct routes that VS/DL service indirectly (e.g. OAK, SJC, PHX, SAN). Tends to be VS metal for the transatlantic hop. Plenty of availability in Nov/Dec, a couple hundred more in Sep/Oct.
Im tempted as can get this price for New Orleans too for xmas!

Wow, that’s tempting!
What’s hfp? Did you have to trawl through loads of dates and destinations to see those fares,or is there some kind of matrix showing it?

Wow. Great find. I received two out of three HfP emails today, didn't get this.
Just booked West Coast USA for £1012rtn.
Thanks!
FLL is also on the list of bargain fares.

That's the one thing I hate about HFP is that people post all sorts of stuff that bear little relation to the article and unless you are that way inclined and read every comment you don't see the offers that people post and unless Rob (who runs HFP) picks it up it dosen't get wider circulation.

All these fares end up on flyertalk anyway.
Thank you for posting this OP, truly exceptional fares. You can route these fares via pretty much any VS USA stop as well, very flexible.

Looked at lhr to Austin Texas for formula 1 late last night and was showing £1174 uc.
Checked again this morning and it is back to £3300. I suppose if you snooze you lose with fares like these. But many thanks for highlighting.

Yes we were looking at Christmas dates, woke up this morning to book and now gone!
Should have booked straight away as peak miles redemption rates and lack of availability on chosen dates means back to the drawing board!

These fares were available for a very short time, less than a day. It's long gone now.
