Ohhh. Hoping for repeat of late November 2011, but that's a fantasy methinks.

Still, might be good for further afield BA bookings... 1K to Kingston Jamaica again? Seems to be recurring.

Just did a random search ... LHR to LAX return in early Feb coming in at just under £3k in BA First or £2k in CW, compared to £3300 in VS UC.

Even bigger difference for Barbados ... again just under £3k for BA F, but £4200 in VS UC.

Cheapest Kingston CW fare I'm seeing is £1500, same for New York.

So I presume the BA sale fares have already been loaded ... come on VS!

Virgin Upper sale now on and boy its a Bun fight!

Just upgraded from PE to UC half price. Total nightmare - the website went down as i tried paying then the option to upgrade vanished. Two 30 minute calls to the flying club and they managed to offer me the discounted upgrade.

:D

It's a good one I think, had CW booked to SFO in December and have been able to upgrade to First for £499 return, very chuffed :-)

I saw that myself earlier, Real Price or more IT gremlins?

Seems that decent fares have been loaded for other destinations but not the USA.

I can't remember the last time VS had an upper class sale, seems a lot rarer these days.

Great news!

Last week I made the decision not to use Virgin any more this year and now I have just bagged 2 return flights to NYC (1 in November, 1 in December) for £2.5k each

That is in first class!


Nice one BA.


Cheers

Gerry
