Example Fares – Long Haul

Below are some examples of the fares you can expect to find on long-haul routes in the latest British Airways sale but, as the list is far from exhaustive, you should check the sale page and the British Airways low fare finder tool for any specific routes you may be interested in.

• Austin – from £2,084

The list above is very USA heavy but that’s only because that’s where most of the best deals are to be found. The fact that we’re being offered so may routes on which you can book First Class for under £2,000 is great and is a repeat of what we’ve seen in the recent past) but it’s worth noting that we’re not seeing any sub £1,800 First Class fares as we did around this time last year.

Once again I appear to have picked out a lot of US destinations to illustrate the deals that are available…but that’s because roundtrip Business Class for under £1,400 (available to a number of US cities) is considerably better than roundtrip Business Class of over £2,100 which is what’s being charged on a lot of non-US routes.

Bottom Line

It’s going to be worth comparing the cost of First Class and Business Class fares to the destinations that interest you most because in a number of cases it will be worth paying the difference to sit in the frontmost cabin.

If you’re looking to fly to the East Coast the difference between First and Business Class is probably going to be significant (and therefore probably not worth it) but if you’re looking to fly further afield (like destinations on the West Coast) you should be able to find First Class fares that cost just £400 more than the Business Class fares to the same destinations…and that’s when First Class becomes a noticeably better deal.

I haven’t delved into the short-haul deals or the holidays that are on sale but you’ll find details of both on the British Airways sale page.
