    Not sure if this is a mistake, but BA is selling one way tickets LHR-EDI for the bargain price of £1178 in a couple of weeks’ time. At least it’s in CE…

    Not really sure what to make of that. Except I won’t be using BA that trip.

    I’ve seen £600 between LHR and MAN before now, but that is spendy (though I suppose proportionate to the distances involved) Is there a big event in Edinburgh on that date?

    This is when you can be very pleased that you collect avios, however!

    No idea if there is an event but easyJet from BHX is a fraction of the price! Know it’s chalk and cheese but £22.99 was the cheapest I could see on U2…

    It could be the flight is about to be cancelled. I bought a single ticket from Oslo to London for about £50 last year. A friend tried to buy a ticket on the same flight the following day and all flights had gone up to nearly £1000 (nok equivalent). Two or three days later BA cancelled lots of flights on the route including mine. Same happened with Inverness. Or it could be the flight/CE is full and they don’t want to sell any more tickets.

    Yeah – we had an offer of 4x £1,000+ LHR-EDI in club Europe last summer. If you have to fly to make that deal you will pay. I’m surprised it’s that high two weeks prior though.

    It ended well for us as it meant there was a row of unsold seats that British Airways made available as Economy a few hours before departure and I changed our economy seats on a much later flight to the one we actually wanted while waiting at Heathrow.

    The kicker is we had row 6 to ourselves so ended up sitting 2×2 with a spare seat on each side of the aisle.

    9/10/11 May? I suspect a gremlin- if you actually try clicking through on them in the app it creates an error.

    My economy MAN-LHR flight on Thursday is currently showing at £372! I know it’s coming up to a bank holiday weekend but sheesh. Our entire BA holiday booking of 6 short haul sectors plus 5 days car hire was only just over £500.
