View Full Version : British Airways Sale
I logged on to the BA website at 11.00pm and it was showing that there was an hour to go to the sale. I logged on again at midnight and guess what, there was no sign of the advert for the sale and no information about it. I'll try again in the morning and I expect it will tell me all flights have sold out!
If you go to the link I posted a few days ago http://www.britishairways.com/travel/woffersprepro/public/en_gb it says there are 2 hours to go (which there are if you're on Florida time!).
This is what it said at 4am GMT on Tuesday 30 December - No time when the sale starts and no count down clock either!!!
What are they playing at?????

I just checked again and it said one hour to go... and it's 11.55 pm in Florida.
I was going to get up at midnight to have a go with the sale, glad I didn't now.[:I] Tried instead when I got up at 7:00am and still the same message as Carla got. I keep going back and it still says the same thing. Have we all been conned?:(I'll try again on the hour at 8 and 9 just in case it doesn't start until then.
Sad lot aren't we?:D

Me too - they are quoting individual flights (out and return) then adding them. Some flights are £114 each way, plus £58.70 taxes to MCO - I was checking April/return beg May.
Just been to check it out. If you want to fly in Jan you will get the £289 price but for the time I want to go, April, it is no cheaper than it was last week. Bummer:(:(:(but I thought that would be the case. Why must Sun N Fun nearly always coincide with Easter?[xx(]

Well I just priced 3 tickets to Orlando from the 10th - 24th April in their sale and I can have them for the bargain price of £3008.10!! - Think I'll stick to my United flights via Washington at less than half the price;)
Just did a check between B.A sale price and Virgin normal price Yipeeeeee!!!! you can save £50 based on 2 adults and 4 children[msnscared][msnsmile2]

Last Jan my husband and brother paid £148 inc tax each for a week with BA through the Daily Mail, I don't if they will be running anything similar this year, it was booked just after the New Year.
We've paid £270 each inc tax to go with Virgin from 13th-22nd April, booked a few months ago.

I suggest you use the travel facility on your Sky TV remote control. They had some great deals this morning from just 179 per person for January. [msnsmile2]
