Well in a move to get people flying after the 30th Olympiad, it seems that fare sale season has hit, with cheap fares loaded on long haul routes from London to the USA (with me looking at London – Chicago Routes):
Currently those on sale have about £30 – £70 off with the following groupings taking part:
- AirFrance/Delta/KLM
- British Airways/American Airlines/Iberia
Oddly, Star Alliance is conspicuous by its absence at the moment, but fares seem to be loading quickly.
Trying to get a list of cheap fares out of BA.com can be a challenge. Thankfully Netflights has a full list of what’s on sale in both World Traveller (Economy) and World Traveller Plus (Premium Economy)
Americas To WT WT+ New York £444 £762 Boston £439 £757 Washington £469 £787 Chicago £449 £827 Miami £478 £856 Orlando £435 £813 Tampa £455 £833 Las Vegas £598 £976 Los Angeles £554 £932 San Francisco £559 £937 Philadelphia £499 £817 Vancouver £618 £991 Toronto £474 £767 Calgary £604 £977 Barbados £502 £825 Antigua £502 £825 St Lucia £532 £854 Cancun £517 £840 Rio De Janeiro £613 £1001 Argentina £695 £1094 Mexico City £679 £1030 Asia Beijing £628 £966 Shanghai £628 £966 Tokyo £654 £1012 The Middle East and Indian Ocean Dubai £466 £721 Muscat £467 £722 Abu Dhabi £466 £721 Maldives £726 £N/A Mauritius £636 £N/A Africa Johannesburg £719 £1127 Cape Town £779 £1187 Nairobi £539 £860
Booking Deadline: 25th September 2012.
Prices subject to change and loads, and in some cases are date restricted with surcharges for depatures/returns on certain days. Refer to Netflights or BA.com
Hopefully something of use to some people there.
Hope you decide to go to Argentina! For the US it seems like LAX gives you the best bang for the buck!
Sadly, It’ll be Chicago for me as usual. Argentina is on the visit list, but looking at my travels, that’s heading into next year at the absolute earliest…
Fall sales on the North Atlantic route are +/-normal in recent years, but this year seems to be. A bit better. Earlier in the week (late last week?) another blog in these parts mentioned some great savings on Business Class fares, with emphasis on Amsterdam as I recall. I’m just starting to look for good BC fares in late Jan to mid-Feb, 2013. I don’t much care about the European arrival city as once I’m over the pond, I enjoy European trains. Any suggestions about where to start looking. I’m game for almost anything that bypasses the UK and their silly departure taxes. Thanks and standing by…
