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.
