The BA Winter Sale offered better deals than these but, if you’re looking to fly to the US, some of these deals aren’t bad at all.
My personal favorites are the roundtrip Business Class fare to San Francisco from £1,382 (that’s a great deal if you can find dates which work for you) and the £2,198 First Class fare to Seattle….but there are a few others which look good too.
To Latin America & The Caribbean

- Buenos Aires – from £1,849
- Cancun – from £1,594
- Grand Cayman – from £1,799
- Lima – from £1,678
- Mexico City – from £1,475
- Nassau – from £1,799
- Rio de Janeiro – from £1,799
- Sao Paulo – from £1,799

First Class (Roundtrip)
- Mexico City – from £1,887
The standout deal here is the £1,887 roundtrip First Class fare to Mexico City (no other deal comes close to being as good as that in this region) but the £1,849 Business Class fare to Buenos Aires looks ok too.

I’m finding it hard to get excited about any of these fares. If you’ve been considering flying to any of these destinations then the reduced prices may be helpful but can’t see anything here which would encourage me to plan a new trip.
To The Middle East, Indian Ocean & Africa
Business Class (Roundtrip)
- Abu Dhabi – from £1,448
- Cape Town – from £2,211
- Dubai – from £1,698
- Johannesburg – from £1,985
- Muscat – from £1,787
- Nairobi – from £1,791
- Seychelles – from £2,220

First Class (Roundtrip)
- Abu Dhabi – from £1,798
- Nairobi – from £2,416
- Seychelles – from £2,670

The two deals that look best (to me) here are the £1,787 Business Class fare to Muscat (Oman is beautiful) and the £1,798 First Class fare to Abu Dhabi or the £2,670 First Class fare to the Seychelles (that’s a long flight so First Class will make a difference).
To The Far East & Australia
Business Class (Roundtrip)
- Beijing – from £1,999
- Hong Kong – from £1,999
- Osaka – from £1,999
- Shanghai – from £1,880

First Class (Roundtrip)
- Beijing – from £2,249
- Hong Kong – from £2,599
- Shanghai – from £2,249

Based on the prices being quoted for the Business Class fares it’s the First Class fares that offer all the value here – If I was prepared to pay £1,880 for Business Class to Shanghai I think I’d probably be willing to pay £369 more for First Class on a 11+ hour flight.
