Drop in BA CW fares

[wayneg]

Big drop since yesterday, when I was looking for August they were about £1,950pp this morning some dates are coming up at £1348. Still not down to last years offer but getting there. Either MCO or TPA.

Are you sure? can't see anything to suggest its the new rumoured sale, their site says extension to January sale. This offer states Economy or Premium Economy on their offer page
Unless I have missed it the current sale is not supposed to be CW, that is rumoured (as you posted) from tomorrow.

For once I bit the bullet, and in their last sale booked CW for May. I am so looking forward to my fights, I hope they live up to my expectations. The prices I saw yesterday were coming up over £4,400, so I hope that if they do have another sale, they do not go lower then what I paid last year.

If there is a sale as rumoured tomorrow and these cw flights drop another couple of hundred pounds each then i will book them - and claim some of the money back from Wayne as its his fault we are even looking at buisness class

We really should not have gone Business class last year. It might have been a bargain but its going to cost us long term.

Perhaps it was a deliberate ploy last year - they knew we would be hooked , Lets hope they keep dropping a bit more so we can get them booked, i have adr lists to worry about now dont have time for all this flight searching

It's def the sale. The prices are the same as seen in the Sunday papers it just won't be advertised/announced on the website until tomorrow.
BA often do this but they also often do it the other way and end the sale early.

I hope the prices don't come down tomorrow as I've just booked it! £1350 for the start of the school holidays in July.

Well done Swift - im trying to decide if i should book now or just wait and see if tomorrow brings anything different, but to be honest the fact that they have reduced them quite a bit today suggests to me that they wont be reduced again tomorrow.

Can anyone confirm if these seats are the lie flat beds?

They are def the lie flat beds.
The sole reason I am waiting for tomorrow is I want to see how Virgin respond as they are still my *slightly* preferred airline but honestly these prices are really good and usually Virgin leaves the Orlando route out of their sales.

Anyone booked with netflights before? They are ATOL bonded which is nice and they are also coming in around £50 cheaper and then another 2% onto from Quidco. I've used them for car hire before never had a problem but anyone used them for flights?

Used Netflights loads for cars, hotels and flights. Our next flights at Easter are booked thru them. I have heard some complain about their customer service but I have never had a reason to ring them.

Thanks Wayne. I've heard the same but again never had to call (car hire bookings). The cashback makes it so tempting not to book with BA direct.

Hiya Guys

Can anyone confirm if BA's sale includes October flights

I just done a quick search and PE with BA is even more expensive then VA, and thats flying out of LGW, you know this whole flight situation is seriously now starting to take over my life

I got my Virgin flights up on constant "refresh" just in the hope they go down

 

[nemmie]

I believe the CW sales for departures until 30Sep10.
World Traveller Plus Sale does not include Oct to Orlando but DOES include Tampa for departures up until 7thOct10.

Hi,

Does anybody know if the Orlando or Tampa routes have the new or old club world cabin?

Still having a problem with NetFlights in relation to our car hire booking (we prepaid, but Dollar charged another £692 to my card the day after we left). It's Dollar's fault, but NetFlight customer service have been awful in sorting it out - it transpires they forgot to submit the claim to Dollar back in December, but it's taken me many phone calls to get someone to admit that is the cause of the delay. I have been lied to and fobbed off to the point I would never use them again, despite using them maybe 10 - 15 times in the past. In saying that, they are obviously as safe a company as you can get and if there are no issues, you will be fine!

Not new cabins yet, according to the BA website http://www.britishairways.com/travel/cwthelaunch/public/en_gb, but it says it should be rolled out on all routes by Jan 2010 (it had previously said Oct 2009, so the have obviously been some delays!).

Thanks

Any pitfalls to flying into Tampa?

Are dates are slighty higher flying into Orlando.

We flew into Tampa last August, a lot quieter airport, no line for rental car but it was about 8-9pm. Takes 60 mins to Disney instead of 30mins from MCO.
Wouldn't hesitate to use TPA again. I search into there as much as MCO now.
