When do BA flights go on sale?

I'm trying to get the cheapest flight possible on a fixed date. I understand BA flights go on sale 355 days in advance. But I'd like to know what time of day they actually go on sale so I can make sure I have the best chance of getting a decent price. I'm guessing it's midnight or 6am but it would be helpful to know. Thanks

    I'm not sure when exactly they go on sale and it may vary by route. However, I wouldn't assume that booking as soon as the flights are available will give you the best price.

    Unless it had changed flights use to go on sale by the major airlines 330 days in advance not 355. But as I say, it could have changed and I have not seen it
  • Best to wait until they have a sale for the travel class you want. In all probability, that will get you a cheaper price than booking as soon as flights are released.

    Booking the day flights go on sale will rarely get you the cheapest ticket.
