BA has launched their new sale which runs until midnight on September 26, for travel dates from now until March 2018.
Whilst there are some good value Club World prices to certain destinations, the majority of fares have risen by an average of 4% on Club World since the last sale, but some significantly more. Sao Paulo, Shanghai and Singapore, however, are all showing much lower fares in Business Class than the last sale. If you fancy flying First there is a sweet spot for flights from 21 November 2017. From this time some USA destinations appear to be only £400 more than Club, so it’s worth comparing the two.
One thing to consider is that BA rolled out their new Club World catering service yesterday on JFK routes, with the new bedding following at the end of October 2017. The rest of the routes will not have the new Club World catering until 2018 and as yet we do not know how further routes will be rolled out.

Club World holidays
Club World holidays usually offer better value than flight only so it worth looking at both options before deciding. There are some excellent value Club World holidays including 4 or 5* hotels which even if you don’t use the hotel are cheaper than the flight itself! Las Vegas is a good example – flights are from £2243 and yet you can get a holiday with 7 nights at the Mandalay Bay for £1759! Remember you can always just add hotels for 1 or 2 nights to see if it brings the price down. You also get the Avios bonus for BA holidays as well as only having to pay a small deposit starting at £150pp. It doesn’t even have to be a hotel, car hire often brings down the price too.
Prices based on 2 people sharing in a 4* or 5* hotel start from:
- Las Vegas £1759 flight plus 6 nights hotel
- New York £1882 flight plus 5 nights hotel
- Boston £1887 flight plus 5 nights hotel
- Cancun £2276 flight plus 7 nights hotel
- Mauritius £2399 flight plus 7 nights hotel (4*)
- Muscat £1172 flight plus 3 nights hotel
- Abu Dhabi £1403 flight plus 3 nights hotel (4*)
