Travelers hoping to splurge for less can book business class seats to London from New York or Boston starting at just $2,645 round-trip, and book business class seats to London from Los Angeles starting at just $3,240 round-trip.
Passengers flying in economy or premium economy must book at least seven days in advance and include a Saturday night stay, while passengers in business class must book at least 28 days in advance and include a Saturday stay.
The sale comes on the heels of British Airways’ decision to overhaul its loyalty program, switching to a revenue-based system for the new year. The revamped program will go into effect on April 1 and allow travelers to earn points based on the cost of their flight as well as for money spent on extras like seat selection and excess baggage.
It also comes ahead of the airline’s plans to roll out a new first class seat in mid-2026, which will feature a 79-inch-long lie-flat rectangular bed, a separate ottoman, a 60-inch curved privacy wall, and more.
