When will the fallen price of oil, now below $70, show in the price of Airfare?

  • I think it had more to do with credit crunch than the price of oil but BA are having a sale and I managed to get within £20 of last years fare. The Bonus being we went with American last year (who are frankly shocking) and I am hoping BA are as good as when we last went with them.

    We also have the (dubious?) pleasure of going from Terminal 5 :eek:
    Well done on finding a decent fare :beer: almost definitely due to the credit crunch - I've noticed flights recently have not been as full as usual, even with the capacity cuts.

    Terminal 5 is absolutely fine now, in fact is probably one of the best terminals in Europe - I've been through about twice a month since it opened and the only problems now are with the surliness of the BAA security goons.

    Baggage tends to come out almost as soon as you arrive at the carousel and pretty much all flights come and go on time - unless, of course, if there is some bad weather - but then, every flight in every terminal is affected. If I'm delayed I'd rather be delayed in T5 than T3 !!

    Finally, the BA lounges are the best in the network - can't fault the place!! :T
