BA flight price drop - use google flights

Just a heads up...

We have been looking at flights from Newcastle for July, the flights we were looking at yesterday for £627 are now £519 today. 2 stops at Heathrow and Philadelphia.

They're not coming up on skyscanner/netflights etc, we found them using google flights and booking direct via American Airlines.

Bargain considering the mad flight prices this time round so booked and finally getting to go on our 7th visit!

Hope this helps someone

BA have loaded some Black Friday discounts so I wonder if it is part of that?

Appears the OP has booked via AA, with some sectors operated by BA, so it’s AA pricing.

I've got £1.7k flights Mon 15th-29th. 1 stop in either direction.

Does anyone think its going to get much better than that?

Good to see prices dropping from the crazy levels seen recently.

Just priced ours up on the US website, and it's coming out £500 more expensive there than going through google flights to the UK website (not direct to the UK website).

Going direct from google flights to American doesn't work for multi city trips

It just errors and I have to put it back in.

I'm looking at flying into MCO(via wherever) and out from Miami(via wherever)

Unless it has changed during the pandemic, AA doesn't let you book via the US website unless you have a payment card with a US address. When you change the payment card country, it always defaulted you back to the AA country website for that country (.co.uk, .ie etc). Haven't checked that recently.

The way round that previously was to book via third party US websites such as Expedia, which would usually have the same fares but not the restriction on where you could book from. I've done that on occasion, but less willing to book via third parties in the current circumstances, given the higher likelihood of changes / cancellations, which they often don't handle that well. Obviously it is a personal risk/reward decision.
