Yes, you can fly Club World to New York for £450 return. Let me explain ….
British Airways has brought back its special offer on ‘part pay with Avios’ until 19th October.
As you see on the ‘Part Pay With Avios’ page at ba.com, there are substantial savings to be made at the moment if you use ‘part pay’ for a Club World or First booking.
If:
you are flying to Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Bangkok, Beijing, Bengaluru, Chengdu Shuangliu, Chicago, Dallas – Forth Worth, Delhi Indira Ghandi International, Dubai, Hong Kong, Houston, Hyderabad, JFK, Kuala Lumpur International, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Montreal, Mumbai, Newark, Philadelphia International, San Francisco International, Seoul, Shanghai Pudong, Singapore Changi, Toronto, Vancouver, Washington
and
you book by 19th October
and
you book in Club World or First
you can redeem Avios points for the following discounts:
1,500 Avios – £25
4,500 Avios – £75
11,250 Avios – £190
15,000 Avios – £250
30,000 Avios – £500
That is an exceptionally generous 1.66p per Avios point.
Now, here is is the interesting bit. These offer is available for flights starting in Europe, not just in the UK.
Let’s take a deal available from Copenhagen for flights to New York next Summer – 9,607 DKK return in Club World. That is £964!
As you can below, I can save a further 5,035 DKK by redeeming 30,000 Avios points.
This means that the final cost of my Club World return flight is just 4,572 DKK – or £459.
Yes, I’ve had to spend 30,000 Avios points as well. Yes, I need to make my way to Copenhagen to start my trip. However, for comparison, the cheapest BA economy ticket on the same day costs over £1,000 at the moment ….
You can learn more about ‘Part Pay With Avios’ at ba.com.
PS. This deal also works out of Dublin and other places. For April, for example, Dublin to New York is €1,533 but you save €672 by redeeming 30,000 Avios. That is a net cost of only €861. You need to play around with ba.com.
