Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

I have dropped this in as one of the rare ‘middle of the day’ posts because this is a genuinely impressive deal.

If you don’t have your Christmas or New Year plans finalised yet, British Airways has launched a short ‘flash sale’ for Club World.

All participating destinations are just £1,007 per person return.

    Interesting. I have Virgin reward flights booked for Vegas during this period. If I can find availability on BA does anyone know if I can cancel Virgin without penalty. Thanks.

    • Raffles says:

      You pay a small fee but you will get the miles and the rest of the cash back.

    • Clive J says:

      I can answer this myself now. Found availability with BA for the dates I needed (and got an extra day in Vegas) with BA at £1,002. Real easy experience in cancelling the Virgin reward flights through chat function. Got all my Flying Club miles back but forfeited the YQ fees around £300. Great deal, and shows how valuable this site is. Thanks Raffles.
