Morning,
A bit niche. I know that BA release flights 354 days in advance. Does anyone know if there is a specific time of day when this kicks in ? I want to book half term flights for next February and I know they can ramp up exceptionally quickly. Does the new day start on the stroke of midnight ? If so, I’ll wait up !!
Many Thanks in advance
It’s midnight at T-355 atm, then 1 am when the clocks change in March. All this is covered extensively in articles and threads on this site, and the midnight/1 am wait is definitely not niche!
@NorthernLass – that’s greatly appreciated many thanks indeed.
@NorthernLass – weirdly when I put the date on a countdown site it actually states 354 not 355 as the day of rls.

When you refer to the fact “they can ramp up exceptionally quickly” it sounds as though you might be referring to cash fares. The cheaper cash fares often aren’t released at the T-355 opening of the booking window.
