British Airways rolled out its Bank Holiday Sale yesterday, which is actually available for booking until May 19th.
Depending on where you want to go, you can book for travel up to February 2016.
The special home page for the sale is here.
The sale ONLY covers World Traveller (economy) and World Traveller Plus (premium economy). There are no Club World or First Class discounts at present – although you may be able to ‘upgrade using Avios’ and book your World Traveller Plus ticket directly into Club World.
(Of course, the rates for upgrading from World Traveller Plus to Club World were increased substantially on April 28th. You also need Avios reward availability to be showing in Club World for an upgrade to be possible.)
Here are the summary terms:

Travel dates (some exceptions apply):
World Traveller and World Traveller Plus to North America: to 29 February 2016
World Traveller and World Traveller Plus elsewhere: to 11 December 2015
Black-out dates apply.
