BA Black Friday deal: book two Club World business class tickets for £2,018 over Christmas
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
Between today and Monday 26th November, British Airways is selling two Club World seats to selected destinations for £2018. That’s just £1009 return per person.
You cannot book for one person at these rates. However, it does seem to work for three and other odd numbers.
The deal is only valid for selected destinations. I was genuinely surprised to see Abu Dhabi as the Middle East is normally very busy over Christmas anyway.
Cities included are:
- Atlanta
- Austin
- Baltimore
- Boston
- Chicago
- Denver
- Fort Lauderdale
- Houston
- Las Vegas
- Miami
- Montreal
- New York
- Orlando
- Philadelphia
- Phoenix
- San Jose
- Tampa
- Toronto
- Washington DC
- Abu Dhabi
- Beijing
- Shanghai
- Seoul
The bad news is that travel dates are restricted.
Outbound flights must be between:
11th – 13th December
16th – 18th December
24th – 31st December
Return flights must be between:
24th December – 31st December
8th January – 10th January
And try BA Holidays ….
These deals are often even cheaper if you add a hotel or car hire via BA Holidays. Go to this Club World page of the BA Holidays site and check the pricing before you book ‘flight only’.
BA Holidays is also running its own Black Friday bonus. For ‘flight + hotel’ or ‘flight + car ‘ holidays booked for travel between 1st December 2018 and 20 October 2019 you will:
- Save £100 on holidays with a minimum spend of £2,500 per booking
- Save £50 on holidays with a minimum spend of £1,250 per booking
BA Holidays can be booked here. Flight-only deals can be booked at ba.com here.
To maximise your miles when paying, your best bet is the British Airways American Express Premium Plus card which earns double Avios (3 per £1) when you book at ba.com or via BA Holidays. You do not get double Avios if you book with the free British Airways American Express card. Another option is American Express Preferred Rewards Gold which offers double points – 2 per £1 – when you book flight tickets directly with an airline.
