Not on site yet but will be up at some point.
Usually comes up when you are trying to make a booking before they have finished designing the page with all the info on.

Happy booking and I hope I have saved some v-flyers a buck or two.

Not massively impressed with that - I remember a couple of years back getting a JFK for 1050, now that's bargain!!

If you follow the booking process through, you'll see the sale prices.

They're basically matching club world fares.

Hmm, tried many dates and minimum price I see to JFK is 1,996 ... even on dates with G availability [:?].

Same here while looking at fares to SFO - no reduction.

If they are linked to the BA Club World fares then we should see a dramatic reduction in price tomorrow - the first day of the big BA Club Sale [:w]

Strange - I can get sale price fares to JFK and MIA coming up fine on Expedia but not on the VS website?? [?]

I would (and am) as the rumours, if true, are showing the BA sale to a MUCH beter deal that the VA 'Sale' figures quoted above

Yes, Darren is right - if you select flights from the 'grid' page and then go right through to the final booking page then the fare does indeed drop in price.

Had a look at BA website too and their prices already seem to have been adjusted although cannot see any info specifically referring to the sale fares - the club world seat prices for the flights I checked to MIA and JFK on BA are coming up excatly the same prices as those listed by eejp1007 above for the VS sale fares.

BA also have a First sale, I looked at dates in December and see JFK return in First for 2,300 ... now that is tempting ...

BA sale fares are in the system right now! I'm looking at a scheduled trip to San Fran in May and BA First is 2,600 WOW [:0] that's like a normal VS PE flexible fare!!!!!

No MCO!!! Was hoping to fly to MIA and back from MCO!!

BA Club to MCO is just short of 1200 each, so would like VS to match that.[:D]

BA First class prices are excellent as already mentioned.

Evening all

I must be 'hard of learning' cos I can't get any sale prices up on VA at the moment.
BA's price next year LHR - LAX + MIA - LHR 1623

I'll keep popping back in to see if anything changes

Are you clicking through to the flight itinerary page?

I will confess I didn't click on through to that page. As always thank you for the help.

Tried to continue on as suggested but the fare coming up 2118 (compared to BA's 1623) Guess I should give the web crew time to put up the sale prices. Just hate mising out on a bargin

Same here for LAX - no reduction.

Will wait and see what BA has to offer tomorrow for Club and First.

Both BA (Club)and Virgin (UC) prices are definately lower today following the sale fares going live. Just checked both websites travelling on the same day to Dubai from Heathrow and they are coming up at 2915 for two people. Thats about 600 cheaper than Monday when I looked. Now the million dollar question which one do I go for. After just returning last week from NYC on BA Club world then I'd be happy to stick with them even with the crazy seating policy.

Wanted to book Boston in June but 1549 seems a little on the expensive side especially when Miami is 1499 and NY 1389.
