As usual.

Absolutely no pickings in Premium!

Nothing in PE whatsoever...

Only appears to be for 4 routes in UC and 8 routes in Economy Light.. not the best of sales in my view.

Indeed thin pickings on announced sales on routes though there are some slightly better than 'regular' prices in PE on some carib routes at around the £1050 mark (St Lucia, Barbados, Antigua and Jamaica) with the occasional Liat routings at £995 for Grenada in PE where you go out VS in PE, via UVF, but return Liat, in economy, to BGI then BGI-LGW back on VS in PE but as the BA 'stay on board at UVF' round trip in PE is only £5 more I suppose you would need to really want VS.

I'm sure the airline revenue experts on V-Flyer know why but I always get more warning on potential extra 'silent' reductions during VS sales from third parties like Netflights, Kenwood Travel or whoever rather than VS mailings or VS website …. e.g. these others are far more likely to tell me than VS that there should be some E to PE price differences around on the Carib routes at the moment of £250-£350 rather than the usual £450-£750.

Again, it's about digging a little deeper and doing some work to find deals. Mixing VS with DL (and now AF & KL) often gives better deals certainly for Upper Class.

LHR>LAS return in Upper/First Aug for ~£1700 (via AMS on KL/DL & VS)
LHR>ORD returning Upper/First in Aug - £1700 (via VS/DL)
LHR> PHL return in Upper/First in Aug - £1656 (via VS/DL)

I can also find BOS & IAD for similar prices.

Those are just some examples I've come across. Google flights is your friend!!
