Codes or Tips for BA Flights Newcastle to Heathrow this weekend

Hi - I wondered if anyone has got any suggestions on how to get a cheaper deal than advertised on the BA website : discount codes etc.

Looking for a return from Newcastle to Heathrow leaving either Thursday evening or before 5 on Friday. Best deal I can see is £115 but I thought I'd try and see if anyone here can rise to the challenge

Any help would be appreciated

  • I think BA's policy is that you won't find a commercial ticket cheaper than
    ba.com

    £115 for this week is pretty good going. I wouldn't hold on much longer as the fares go up closer to the date of travel just like with the low cost airlines. The most expensive return fare is around £329.

    You are unlikely to get fare lower than at ba.com - a lot of sites such as Expedia charge an administration fee on top of the fare since airlines cut/eliminated commissions to travel agents, so you may well end up paying more than at ba.com

    Easyjet are quoting £50 NCL to STN one way next weekend, so assuming that you want to get to Heathrow it's going to be cheaper with BA.

    BTW GNER are quoting £10 Newcastle to London one way which, adding on the Tube fare gives under £14 to Heathrow
