Virgin Atlantic Flash Easter Sale – Book by Tuesday 7 April 2015

Virgin Atlantic has launched a flash Easter sale in all cabins and across its long-haul network for travel up to March 2016.

The sale has a very short window. Bookings must be made by Tuesday 7 April 2015.

Some cabins may not be on sale on some routes (Premium Economy to Dubai for instance). There are also excluded periods, such as the two weeks before Christmas 2015. A Saturday night stay is required and stop-overs are not permitted.

Also included in the sale are some routes from London Heathrow that are operated exclusively by Virgin’s transatlantic partner, Delta Airlines, such as Minneapolis, Philidelphia and Seattle.

There are full details on the Virgin Atlantic website.

Air France launches short-notice £999 business class sale fares to Dubai, Mumbai, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto

There has been a trend in recent years for airlines to announce short-notice sales of deeply discounted business and first class tickets, primarily aimed at leisure travellers in periods where bookings from corporate travellers are relatively low.

Air France has followed this trend and has just announced a special £999 fare for business class flights from London Heathrow to Dubai, Mumbai, Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.

Whilst £999 is a lot of anyone’s money, it does make the business class cabin much more accessible for those willing to pay and the pricing is particularly keen when compared to economy fares for direct flights during busy travel periods.

Bookings must be made by Monday 18 August 2014. However, bookings are valid for travel from 22 August 2014 to 31 March 2015. Bookings can be made for flights on both Air France and its sister airline, KLM.

As these are not direct flights from London, it does involve a change at either Amsterdam Schipol or Paris Charles de Gaulle airports (a connection at the former is much easier!).

It’s also worth noting that neither Air France nor KLM currently guarantee fully flat beds in business class across all flights. Both airlines are rolling out new fully flat business class products as per the Air France and KLM microsites.

There’s more about the sale on the Air France website.
