Love to fly full fare in C or F? BA and AA have an offer for you…

Double Avois or Doube AAvantage Miles?  Depending on which programme you’re married to will depend which you go for (and also how deep your pockets are…)

American Airlines Promo:

American Airlines offer is simple enough – fly to North or South America in First or Business Class in the high fares – get bonus AAdvantage miles.

• Purchase an eligible First or Business Class ticket on select transatlantic routes
• Register prior to travel using promotion code UKDBL
• Travel up to 31 December 2012

Here is the nasty bit – you need to check your fare codes carefully:

• First Class or Business Class fares booked in P, F, A, J, R or D on American Airlines operated flights
• First Class or Club World fares booked in F, A, J, C, or D on British Airways operated flights

British Airways Promo:

British Airways has a variant of the offer with a few different destinations from London with Double Avios on North and South American destinations as well as a few further afiled in F or J, on BA, AA or IB

Register at http://www.britishairways.com/travel/double-avios-points/public/en_gb. Travel up to 31st December 2012.

Again, the same conditions as the AA offer you will need to check your fare codes carefully:

• First Class or Club World fares booked in F, A, J, C, or D on British Airways operated flights
• First Class or Business Class fares booked in P, F, A, J, R or D on American Airlines operated flights
• Business Class fares booked in J, C or D on Iberia operated flights

I’d wager the same thing is going on over at Iberia Plus too for those who are members of Iberia Plus.

As to the value of the offer – it’s a nicety if you can take advantage of it, but full fares are expensive. Very expensive if you’re on your own coin…
