Aggressive British Airways Club Europe, Club World and First sale fares launched

British Airways has launched its latest batch of sale fares.

First the boring bits.  You must book by November 12th at the latest, with no flying before November 6th.  The expiry date for the offer varies by destination.

Short haul

There are some good Club Europe deals knocking about.  It is rare to find return business class fares for £200 these days, but there are available in this sale.  Check out Angers, Frankfurt (interesting choice), Paris, Quimper, Rotterdam, Stavanger, Stuttgart and Zagreb.  These are especially interesting fares if you need to boost your tier points for status requalification.

The ‘low fare finder’ took here on ba.com shows the lowest price to each European destination.

Long haul

The key thing to note here is that, for many destinations, this sale lets you book for the Christmas period and Easter 2014.  This opens up some pretty interesting deals.

Fancy spending next Spring or Easter in Dubai, for example?  £1594 is not a bad price in Club World.  However, £1394 to Abu Dhabi is even better – the additional drive to your hotel is only about 50 minutes depending on where you stay (I did this last night from Abu Dhabi) and you get out of the airport faster as well.

How to earn Avios from UK credit cards (September 2023)

As a reminder, there are various ways of earning Avios points from UK credit cards.  Many cards also have generous sign-up bonuses!

In February 2022, Barclaycard launched two exciting new Barclaycard Avios Mastercard cards with a bonus of up to 25,000 Avios. You can apply here.

You qualify for the bonus on these cards even if you have a British Airways American Express card:

There are two official British Airways American Express cards with attractive sign-up bonuses:

You can also get generous sign-up bonuses by applying for American Express cards which earn Membership Rewards points.

Run your own business?

We recommend Capital On Tap for limited companies. You earn 1 Avios per £1 which is impressive for a Visa card, along with a sign-up bonus worth 10,500 Avios.

You should also consider the British Airways Accelerating Business credit card. This is open to sole traders as well as limited companies and has a 30,000 Avios sign-up bonus.

EDIT: Applications for this card are temporarily suspended due to IT issues with the British Airways On Business SME loyalty scheme.

There are also generous bonuses on the two American Express Business cards, with the points converting at 1:1 into Avios. These cards are open to sole traders as well as limited companies.
