BA offers an extra £200 off sales fares

You can now save up to an additional £200 on top of sale fares, on selected first and business class return flights to the USA, Canada and Mexico when two passengers book and travel together. The offer ends on 21 March along with the sale.

Best business class sale fares comparison

There are a number of sales out of London currently. I thought it would be useful to do a comparison of the different fares on offer.

Finnair BA Qatar Etihad
Beijing £1,315.00 £1,752.00 n/a £2,275.00
Bangkok £1,389.00 £1,759.00 n/a £1,919.00
Dubai n/a £1,495.00 £2,009.00 £1,845.00
Phuket n/a n/a £1,989.00 n/a
Shanghai £1,315.00 £2,296.00 n/a £2,225.00
Seoul £1,379.00 n/a n/a £2,219.00
Singapore £1,449.00 £2,260.00 £2,279.00 n/a

Book by 13-Apr-17 21-Mar-17 19-Mar-17 31-Mar
Travel by varies varies 09-Jan-18 22-Jan-18

Other than price, the other factors to take into consideration are journey time, product and Avios/Tier points. Below is a list of the pros and cons of each airline and a score out of 10. With the scores I have taken into account all the listed factors. It is, of course, very subjective.

BA

BA club world changes
BA Club World
  • Tier points and Avios but less tier points than Qatar or Finnair.
  • Avios will vary according to your BA Executive Club status.
  • Business class product is flat bed but without direct aisle access for many seats.

  • Flying time will be the quickest as flights direct.
  • Service is very variable, wines generally good and food OK.
  • Due for enhancements to bedding and food shortly.
  • My personal score overall 6/10

Checking out the new No 1 lounge at @heathrow_airp Checking out the new No 1 lounge at @heathrow_airport T2. Very impressed with the elegant feel to the lounge. It’s definitely a step up from the older style of No1. I’d go as far to say that it looks better than quite a few airline lounges. All drinks are included apart from champagne and there was a good selection of tasty food as well. Full review coming soon. #airportlounge #heathrowairport #luxurytravel #no1lounge
