To get the best fare, it’s worth playing with the Low Fare finder
In terms of Terms and Conditions – there are a few things to think about if you want to take advantage of these fares:
- Book by 3rd June 2014.
- Availability is limited.
- Travel periods are limited depending on your destination with dates stretching between 1st June 2014 and April/May 2015.
- Minimum stay varies
- All destinations from Heathrow apart from USA – Saturday night stay
- USA destinations from Heathrow – 7 day stay required
- All destinations from Gatwick require a Saturday night stay
- Maximum stay periods varies depending on destinations. In most cases, it’s 42 day to 355 days dependant on route.

The full T&C’s (with some important availability dates) are at http://www.britishairways.com/travel/premium-leisure-offer-tcs/public/en_gb.
Whilst sales like this do turn up, it’s important to note the T&C’s – and how they fit in with your travel plans. For Business travellers, there could be value if your travel plans are fixed (and you’re not required to go to the USA, able to stay a Saturday night).
For those of you collecting Tier Points, these will generate full Tier points (on longer routes, this is 140 Tier Points in Club World, 210 in First).
Note, that BA1/2/3/4 (London City – New York JFK) is priced more than LHR-JFK, however the LCY route does yield First Class Tier Points.
The good thing this sale is that it has a very long travel period, allowing you to make plans to take advantage of your trip. If you can use them… go for it.
