ERROR FARE: BUSINESS CLASS SALE New York to London, $1100!!
Ok guys – jump on this one before it’s gone. It’s quite possible that it is an error fare, and very possibly a mistake, and if it is, it won’t last long. It looks like Virgin Atlantic has a potential business class sale from New York to London for only $1177! Yea you read that right, $1177.
WARNING: THIS IS AN ERROR FARE AND POSSIBLE MISTAKE. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET A TICKET CONFIRMATION AND SEAT SELECTION IN BUSINESS CLASS BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY NON-REFUNDABLE RESERVATIONS (HOTELS, CARS, ETC). THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE THE AIRLINE MIGHT NOT HONOR THIS TICKET.
This itinerary is available only through Priceline, so far as I can see, but if you see it elsewhere, go for it.
Virgin Atlantic 787-900, from Virgin.com
As with all error fares, there is a catch. It looks like this itinerary is pricing into “G” class, which is the lowest available Upper Class fare. It’s actually the upgrade booking class, so technically you should be able get confirmed into a Upper Class Seat.
You can see how the ITA Matrix prices it as “First Class”
And on V-Flyer.com, it says that G Class is an upper class upgradeable ticket…

If it doesn’t work, you will have 24 hours to cancel your ticket. Keep in mind that the G class fare doesn’t earn any miles on Delta or any other airline from what I can see, but if it really is only $1100 to and from London, who cares?
The deals looks like they are available for random dates from May onward. You can use google flights to look for the availability. It also seems to be good over the holiday season, making this an even more incredible bargain!
Are you gonna jump on this deal? Let us know below!

I will believe you that this works once you show us a screenshot of the confirmation page that displays the flights, fare class/class of service, and price.

G class is premium economy. Fare classes were changed this morning. Nothing to see here.

Changed for… Virgin or Delta?

If it is an error fare, the first rule is to NEVER CALL IT AN ERROR FARE.

Doesn’t work unless you’re a travel agent. Neither DL nor VS offer fare on their website.

Looks like your right. It would seem travel agents can do it. Strangely when I searched this morning, Priceline was showing it in business class. I took it from ITA Matrix over to Priceline and it went right into business class. I wonder if it’s been since updated?

Did you get a business class seat, or PE?

When I did my test booking it came through but it appears as if now people re reporting PE. Someone messaged me saying they were going to take it up with Amex Travel as well since they booked there to see if they would honor it. Worth a shot!

Incorrect. It books into Premium Economy.
