  @londonsteve Ditto…. regularly commute LON to Austria (various locations but family are in Linz). Was looking forward to having something out of LGW to use weekly/monthly. Had been looking for some offers so was straight on to the website when this came up and look whats happened. A tiny bit of my cynical mind wonders if this is all that was wanted – people to know they are out there and plying the route with seats… job done… and so was i!

  Giving up on this for now. BTW I did phone in, but they can’t book these fares on that channel.

  Whole vueling website not working.

  After the great BA IT meltdown and all the media attention perhaps Cruz has persuaded Level that having really poor IT systems is the cheapest way to get publicity… I hadn’t really heard of them before this, but now I definitely who not to book with if I want a trust company with my money/information/safety…

  I need UK>Austria for either August or September. According to the calendar view, there are precisely ZERO seats at 1p for any date in either August or September.

  Last week H4P told us we’d be transferring 90k Avios straight from IB+ to BAEC, now we’re told that [Level 1p fare] “Availability is very generous”.

    You can see the screenshot I took an hour ago showing the dates available …..

    • shd says:

      You meant to write, there appears to be at least one seat at 1p on every flight througout the summer.

      You call that generous?

      Previously work in sales & marketing at Ryanair? 😉

        I booked 11 return flights (same flights) for a total of 22p for a stag do in October, so I think it is definitely fair to say availability was generous.

      • Rob says:

        Do the maths. 50,000 seats across three months, on an airline which only has four planes and even those won’t all be in service until late August.

        You’re looking at over 500 seats PER DAY available, albeit not all on this route.

        Nothing beats a good tantrum, eh!?

        Thanks for the ‘heads up’ Raffles.

        We all know Level didn’t offer the seats evenly across their routes and flights and dates. H4P posted (again!) a clickbait headline, as if this was some massive give-away deal from IAG – claiming “Availability is very generous” (fake news, sad!) – and yet another affiliate link.

        Then – like the initial gushing IB+ 90k story – the bottom fell out.

        Meanwhile Ryanair have €25 flights back from BTS pretty much day in, day out for the rest of the year. Is that worth an article? Probably not, no clickbait plus zero affiliate earnings there.

          Really, this is the biggest load of nonsense we’ve seen on here for a while. It is just laughable.

          a) You can see the availability for the LEVEL deal in the screenshot. 50,000 seats across three months on an airline with 4 planes is a lot of availability per route.

          b) The initial IB article says (22nd June) “I am NOT going to recommend that you make 10 cheap Iberia, Iberia Express or Air Nostrum bookings in order to pick up 90,000 cheap Avios.  I simply don’t have enough trust in Iberia for them to pay out.”

          c) No affiliate money from LEVEL

          What you don’t know is that Jak’s Flight Club emailed it to 25,000+ at the same time we sent it to 25,000+ people. That’s why it died quickly.

        shd you seem to ignore that loads of us got 90K IB for peanuts – 180K in our case – and others today picked up 1p flights to/ from Vienna

        there’s no bottom falling out

        people can’t expect to arrive late & get the same deal as first adopters

      • the real harry1 says:

        5 Jul5 July 21:05

        if you have a ticket for the HFP party on Monday, are you planning on turning up at midnight? lol 🙂

  • MarkUK says:

    5 Jul5 July 12:30

    erm… that’s a little like saying, “the airline TOLD me that I’d be leaving at 1530 and arriving at my destination at 1730… and NOW this fog has closed the airport….”

    Let’s not shoot the messenger when the facts are researched and correct when first presented… and before other factors change the landscape – (i.e. Iberia not honouring their original offer and the Vueling revenue managers – who were possibly not fully consulted before the marketing team decided to put the offer live anyway – having a meltdown as they were not expecting such a swift response and the website crashing).

    • shd says:

      BAEC offer 2 Avios seats in Club on every flight. They disappear in minutes on the key routes.

      I wouldn’t say that BA avios “availability is generous” !

      • the real harry1 says:

        5 Jul5 July 21:18

        and I shall be buying them both on my way out to the place in the sun, 2x CE tickets in T3 @ £80 with the IB deal – I get noodles! 🙂 plus all the other great T3 lounges

        did you somehow forget to get the cheap 90K points, shd 🙂

  Ironic that they’re doing this less than a month after BA cancelled those £200 ‘mistake’ fares to Israel (which were still more expensive than LCCs)!!

• Sasha says:

  Try using Vueling app. I managed to secure the flight in October.

• Rob says:

  5 Jul5 July 12:28

  Seen this, will cover tomorrow

• nick says:

  website appears to back on line, but no sign of the promotional fares.

  Must have been very few seats for 1 eurocent = clickbait
