The ‘coming and going’ heavily discounted British Airways Club World fares to the US are back for anyone who can commit to travelling in 6+ months time.
These fares are valid for travel:
OUT: six months from today (so 16/11) to 11/12, 24/12 to 31/12, 1/1 to 2/1 (!), 15/2 to 29/3
IN: 29/10 to 31/12, 20/2 to 6/4
….. so, nothing before mid November. You can only travel outbound mid-week (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) and inbound Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Here are some sample fares from Heathrow for November. These prices may be available from some regional airports too. Other destinations in the US and Canada are available as long as they served with a direct BA or AA flight:
- Atlanta £1,411
- Boston £1,321
- Calgary £1,438
- Chicago £1,436
- Dallas £1,451
- Denver £1,471
- Houston £1,461
- Miami £1,521
- Nashville £1,412
- New York £1,351
- Phoenix £1,531
- San Diego £1,461
- San Francisco £1,461
I would strongly recommend also pricing up the flights on the BA Holidays website here. Adding a car or a hotel may not cost much more and could even end up being less! You also get the benefit of only having to pay a ‘from £150’ deposit now to secure your trip.
Where American Airlines flies the route, you can pick AA instead of BA for the same price. You should check the exact configuration of the aircraft type shown but it is likely to be a better seat than Club World, especially if travelling alone.

About Head for Points
I noticed there was some ‘bleed’ on the dates
e.g. I looked at LHR-JFK out on 3rd Jan 2019 back on the 9th and the matrix was showing the sale fare of a combined £1352 – and neither of those was listed in the dates Rob posted above so it pays to have a play with your dates.
It’s also feeding through to ex-INV – where the additional saving is just the APD.
EDI and NCL were marginal only £16 saving on the ex-LHR fare but handy for TP collectors and regional flyers.
O/T, not sure if this is old news, but I notice Virgin are adding a second daily service to JNB from October. Obviously still works better for them than restoring CPT route.
I wonder if we might see more favourable cash prices emerge.
OT: MBNA sent me a letter advising that the relationship between them and AA is coming to an end on 28 July. I have the AmEx/Visa duo.
From BA website:
You can pay as little as £150 per booking for holidays between £300 – £1500, and £300 per booking for holidays between £1501-£2999.
Gaming the system? I don’t think so. Nobody here breaking any rules, simply taking up offers made available to the general public. Or you think I shouldn’t take the second item in the BOGOF offer because that’s theft?
The above was a reply to a post which has since quite rightly disappeared. Being now irrelevant, feel free to delete.
Harry, that is one of the funniest comments I’ve ever read from you. Obviously not what I was expecting but glad you are OK. I’ve had some experiences due to drinking copious amounts of alcohol but you’ve now done it for me. What a classic….. Glad you’re back and in great form.
Get well soon TRH1 – quite an ordeal!
