The limited time sale runs until Tuesday, April 15 on ba.com, featuring discounted flights and vacations to the UK and Europe from across British Airways’ 26 US destinations, for travel throughout the year.
This is the perfect opportunity to plan an original London getaway and discover the places locals are loving right now, such as the re-born Battersea Power Station, the art studios along the canal path at Hackney Wick, or the tasty street food at Camden Lock Market. And for fans of English literature, this year marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of one of England’s most beloved novelists, Jane Austen. Book lovers and movie fanatics alike can snap up a flight deal and immerse themselves in the iconic locations that inspired her timeless masterpieces.
For those wishing to treat themselves, the airline has launched a new selection of award-winning English sparkling wines and prestigious Champagnes for customers to enjoy at 35,000ft, available in its First and Club World cabins across all long-haul flights. British Airways will be the first airline to serve prestige cuvée English sparkling wines in its First cabin as part of its award-winning wine list this year. There will be a range of new sparkling options across premium cabins for customers to enjoy throughout their journey.
