It’s that time again – British Airways is conducting its late summer sale, with offers on flights going on until the 23rd September.
British Airways Boeing 747-400 taxing at Heathrow Airport – Image, Economy Class and Beyond. Now you fly a BA 747 on sale !
The sale is on in all classes (World Traveller, World Traveller Plus, Club World and First).
As we like premium fares here, I’ll be taking a look at those to see how much you can fly for ….
United States of America

There are some ok finds in this list… and there are some “that’s no way a sale fare” ones too (Bangalore in First for £6961… I think not).
The sale runs until the 21st September – so you have a little time for the pay-cheques to hit the floor before splashing out on a return fare in class. Check for restrictions and blackout dates – normally with these fares, they require a six night stay or an overnight-Saturday away.
With the cutbacks going on in World Traveller and World Traveller Plus, you’ll be lucky to anything resembling a second meal or second service that isn’t a small chocolate bar. At least you’ll get something resembling a flat-bed in Club World and First.
Oh yes. There’s a rant post coming up on that. British Airways haven’t escaped my wrath just yet.
Not in any shape or form.
