BA Sale, started today, book before July 15th

Really pleased, saved our family over £950! I booked this morning and couldn't understand why the price had dropped over night, by such a huge amount too, as tehy hadn't put the banners up yet! I checked the booking 4 times then got my boss to check too :)

Worth a look if your planning to travel soon. Most areas seem to be covered although I only looked properly at Canada.

My saving was a family of four heading to Canada in Dec, the saving was around a third!

    Other airlines often follow BA with sales

  • looking at the cheaper fares you can see that BA can't reduce them much more as they're £80 + the rest is surcharges and tax

    Our returns were around £134 for the ticket, £299 for the taxes etc!

    While other carriers may come down a little cheaper than BA, we try to use them longhaul as the IFE system is fantastic. Seat back screens even in cattle class with an extensive choice of programme, fairly new films, docus and radio that you can play/pause rewind etc at your own will. Can't beat that when flying longhaul with DS 7 (cartoon network and disney films) and DD 5 (disney). For distraction basis for the more claustrophibic passenger (me ;) ) it is excellant way of focusing on the here and now rather than the what if's ;)
