Get 15% off a British Airways flight to the USA and Canada

British Airways is running another money-off promotion with one its partners.  Following the recent Hilton and Avis offers, it is now partnering with Shell.

The new offer is a discount of 15% on any Economy BA flight to the USA or Canada.

You need to book at ba.com before November 14th, with a minimum spend of £450 per person.  You can travel at any point up to 14th April 2014.

All flights must depart from London Heathrow, according to the rules.  This is a bit lame, frankly – I tried booking a flight from Manchester, changing in Heathrow, and the code was rejected.  Tough luck if you live in the regions.

You need to enter British Airways promotional code ShellnovZH at ba.com when booking.

Full details can be found here at ba.com.  The webpage is all over the place, and even says that the discount is 20% in a couple of places – it isn’t – and that the partner is Hilton and not Shell.
