Is this an upcoming sale? If so, when?!

It is one of five new 'sale sections' that wasn't on the website a couple of hours ago.

The PE link is still not working. My guess would be that the links have been posted before the sale fares are loaded. [?]

This does appear to be SOP for VS, unfortunately.

Edit - the links to Dubai, Africa and India appear to be working okay, with sale fares in Y and W right through to June next year, so I suppose we will have to be patient and wait for the US details to be loaded.

I've just checked flights to New York in February - £258.00 return or £476 in PE.
This was from the front page, not the links.

The New York PE fare is attractive but I think I'm going to hold out for the UC sale (if they have one).

Except that the Booking By dates are in the past rather than the dates shown on the main screen - oh and the sale prices are different also. Methinks the links are to a previous offer.

The fares are loaded in the back-end so you can search as per normal and it will show the sale fares.

Some good rates for PE, now where to go.....

P.S.
Dubai link now updated - dates / prices correct (12:35)
Mauritius Link now OK (12:37)
And the Rest - including US (12:39)

[Nottingham Nick]

All looks to be sorted now, the US fares in W to BOS / NYC and DC are fabulous and all the way to September '09 as well. [^][^]

I will post a link to the new fares in General Discussion, as it isn't an ask a guru topic any more.

Yippee!

Nope and I dont expect one. I rang the premier team to make some UC bookings yesterday for the early part of 2009 and was told about this sale but that they were not currently planning an UC one. Not sure if that is the party line or the real current thinking . . . .

[RichardMannion]

Given the loads on some of the flights, I'm expecting a UC sale soon.
