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.

Note that, whilst the website is headed ‘Take 2 for £2,014’, you do NOT need to travel with someone else.  If you search for just one person it will price at £1,007.

Here is the list of participating routes:

    I got a heads up from a WEXAS travel email, before Raffles brilliant announcement,

    There was no return Club availability for less than £2000+

    Oh well will have to settle for EZE instead!!

  • Alvin says:

    Incredible… £1k for LHR-SIN on CW!!!

    Only for some December 2014 and January 2015 dates unfortunately, but still!

  • MJ says:

    Sorry for the stupid question but could someone confirm how much would be refunded if we had to cancel these flights. It states on the BA website that “There are no refunds except for any government & airport taxes”, does this equate to the amount that it quoted under Taxes, fees and carrier charges per person? Thanks for your help. MJ

    • Rob says:

      No. It only means Air Passenger Duty and the few quid paid to Heathrow and the other airport. The £300 or so of fuel surcharge built into the original ‘taxes and charges’ figure does not come back. And BA will deduct the cancellation fee before paying it to you.

  • jonboy says:

    Just a heads up, I have managed to book from NCL all the way through to MNL (Manila) via HKG for GBP 1327.45. includes return on Cathay in J, 400 tp’s and 33,652 miles 🙂

    I was originally looking at NCL-HKG and just chucked in MNL to see what would happen.

    There may be other creative ways to use the cheap flights to destination not actually in the sale.

    And here’s me supposed to be on a ‘burn’ year!

  • Mummy55 says:

    Thanks for the alert!
    We are off to L.A. for NewYear . £3060. for three CW returns including the Newcastle -Heathrow flights. Cheers Raffles!

    Hi, slightly OT here but if I book on the Qatar sale, am I better using my exec club number or joining the Qatar loyalty programme

    • Rob says:

      Qatar is running a 50% miles bonus in its own scheme for tickets booked via this promo. However, unless you are going to earn enough for a redemption, it doesn’t make much sense to split your oneworld miles between two programmes. This is especially true in the case of Qatar because they are not an Amex partner so you won’t be able to top them up easily via Membership Rewards if you are just a little bit short.

    • Polly says:

      Don’t waste them on QR, stick to your BAEC…put in your BAEC no…

  • Mikee says:

    What’s the best way of seeing the fare rules for this sale? I need to find out if stopovers are allowed as I would like to route LHR-IAD, stopover then IAD-LAX and LAX-LHR.

    • Alan says:

      If you do a search on Matrix ITA the final screen has a link to the fare rules 🙂
