Hefty discounts if you book business class on British Airways
A sale has been announced from British Airways and it is so interesting, I’m tempted to take advantage of it myself! But you have less than 2 weeks to book and seats are likely to sell fast.
You may not normally consider booking club world at £500 or £600 for a 2 hour European flight, but now there are sale prices from £198 which are closer to economy fares!
If you are booking business travel, be careful. These tickets do not allow any changes whatsoever and no refunds apart from the tax.
And most fares require a Saturday night stay. This is how British Airways deters travellers from booking business trips at these prices. Exceptions do apply, for example Morocco (below) is OK for mid-week travel.
There appears to be good availability, the fares are valid through Christmas, Easter holidays etc and many destinations are for travel through to end summer 2014
Travellers will earn full ‘Tier Points’ and Avios on these fares

To easily find availability, I suggest that you use this excellent Low Price Finder tool from British Airways or go to my British Airways Page above.
As usual, online, it’s a case of ‘instant purchase’ i.e. Book and pay and committed in one transaction.
Travel Agents can book the same fares. If they are using reservation systems such as Amadeus, Sabre or TravelPort, they can ‘hold’ seats for you for up to 3 days whilst your traveller decides.
You will of course incur an additional fee for this service but if it is an ends to obtaining that ‘last seat’ it may be worth it!
