Really, the flights I wanted went £20 up!
I booked BA flights through Iberia yesterday, saved myself about £100! :-)

The flights I wanted were in the sale, some go up, some go down.

Might be helpful to say which flights did you find are cheaper? Where are you flying?:)
I was looking for flight to Los Angeles and then Vegas back to London and price was up.:eek:

It appears that only some of the sale fares are currently loaded, more should follow.

Hmm shame you cannot specify what you found, sorry to be pain, but what is the point of this post then?
No offence.;)

Seems NCE and BCN sale fares may already be loaded. I've been watching the fare prices for these destinations recently, I've not been watching other destination fare prices so can't comment. By the time you read this some sale fares may have sold out.
The point of this post is that some of the sale fares are loaded already and this post may be useful to some.

Always worth checking https://www.skyscanner.net and other airlines' websites to double check fares before booking.

LAX and NYC sale fares are loaded.

That is very rude!

Thanks richardw for your post, your post was very helpful for those of us who are capable of doing a little research for ourselves.

Exactly - posting when the sale fares are beginning to be loaded means you can be the first to buy flights when your preferred route is loaded. Currently no advertising on BA, which is sensible given the load on the website with snow rebookings.

A couple of comments from FT; 1) MFU availability currently remains good, however that may get reduced when the sale gets advertised, 2) apparently you can get a further £20 off any flight booking via opodo (however that may prevent any MFUing), 3) some excellent savings booking straight into business, so it's worth comparing the standard base WTP fare with the reduced sale business fare when deciding on MFUs (particularly if there is no availability on your preferred route for an MFU)

and gets you opodo's additional terms and conditions plus BA's.
