Flight to USA December 2023

I wondered if anyone knows when either British Airways or Virgin Atlantic are likely to have their next sale :)  As I am hoping to be able to go to USA and spend Christmas visiting my family. Thank you

    I very much doubt the Christmas period would be included in any sale. It is a very busy travel period.

    Where are you looking to fly to in the USA?   Norse have just announced new flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington DC and Boston adding to existing Miami, Orlando, New York. They might be worth looking at.

    The cheapest flights for Christmas went on sale in January and as Westin suggests, sales are used to sell when demand is low, which is never at Christmas. Norse will have seats since they have only announced their flights in the last week, but when you add the cost of food and bags and reserved seats, the pricing seemed to be as high as the mainstream operators. Worryingly, they seem to be following in the footsteps of Norwegian, it's the same planes and the same team and that all ended in a mess, so tread carefully

    You need flights to Seattle so Norse doesn't really help. Alternatively, Air Canada sometimes has good fares to the US via Toronto, but this would add an extra transfer to the one you will have to make anyway
