British Airways & Virgin Atlanic worldwide sale

Hi,

Any experts know of any upcoming BC sales for New Zealand & Oz?

I know that Cathay Pacific have a sale on now, but was wondering whether BA will have a sale again .... wanting to go at the end of August for 3 weeks.

I got one for 25000 miles May 2010 (Orlando)

You still have to pay taxes though so cost was £178

I want to go to New York in March next year. It is a special surprise for my husband's 50th. I want to take advantage of the BA sale but I want to fly premium economy and pick my seats now. Unless I am a Silver or Gold Tier member they say I cannot do this. I am only a Blue member. As the seats are really an important part of the flight, does anyone know a way round this? BA used to do it, but not anymore they tell me, I can only pick seats as a Blue member 24 hours before I fly which could mean the seats I want are not available. All inside info welcome.

It mentions Dubai from £299, worth noting that I got return to Dubai with Royal Brunei airlines for £240 last month.

But remember that nearly everyone else will be in the same boat ... so as long as you checkin 24 hours before your flight, you should get the seats you want.

Sadly we wont all be in the same boat, silver and gold can book seats at time of booking, blue can't and as there are fewer premium seats and only a few of the type I want, it will spoint the "specialness" of it if I can get the seats I want now. Oh well, never mind. I will have to pay more and go with Virgin!

BA premium economy seating is 2-4-2 or 2-2-2, which are the special seats you want?
