British Airways is currently having another ‘luxury sale’ as you can see from the ad on the home page of ba.com.
If you are looking for amazing fares, though, the place to look is Dublin.
BA is currently offering fares from Dublin via London and onto North America for as little as Euro 1,200, or £945.
The Euro 1,200 fare is valid to most of the East Coast destinations plus Calgary and Las Vegas. Other destinations in North America will cost a little more – you need to play around on ba.com.
Here is a Boston screenshot showing it works, this one comes out at Euro 1,215:
The fare rules involve booking by November 12th and travelling between November 22nd and September 5th 2015 – a huge period.
A Saturday night stay is required. Tickets are non refundable. In theory the dates can be changed for Euro 300 but that would trigger a reprice on the day of the change which is unlikely to be attractive.

Thanks for the input all
Is it me or has BA increased prices on the Dublin routes?

DUB was always pricey on ba
I had been hoping to find a redemption to West Coast US sometime next year, as have miles and companion voucher to use. Needless to say even though we are flexible on dates, availability remains poor as is well documented. So when I spotted these deals decided better to hang onto the miles and companion voucher and book using cash.
So I booked DUB-LHR-JFK-SFO, returning LAS-LHR-DUB in J departing in mid April for approx £1200 each yesterday. Could have done LHR to SFO direct but the extra TPs will take me to Silver for this year so worth doing IMHO. I have no chance of making it to gold so not worth a more complex itinerary to max the TPs.
Also picked up an avios upgrade to F on the LHR-JFK sector, probably shouldn’t have bothered but have the miles to use and availability was showing. It will make the layover in Terminal 5 a little more pleasant with access to Concorde Room and be able to pre-book spa treatment etc.
Now just need to find a redemption worth doing with my companion voucher…
