This is your final reminder that the British Airways Winter Sale ends at midnight tomorrow, Tuesday.

The ‘travel by’ date varies based on a complicated matrix of travel class, departure airport and destination. In general, your last date to travel will be between September 2015 to January 2016. Click on the ‘Terms and Conditions’ link at the bottom of the sale website page and you can see all the details.

The special home page for the sale is here.

The sale includes Iberia long-haul flights via Madrid which opens up Chile, Bogota, Lima etc. The new BA route to Kuala Lumpur which launches at the end of March is also included.

The easiest way to check out the best prices to a specific destination is with the British Airways Low Fare Finder tool on ba.com. This will show you the cheapest price on any route, in any class, on month by month basis.

If you are looking to earn some cheap(ish) tier points with a weekend away, Club Europe routes under £220 return include Alicante, Amsterdam, Angers, Barcelona, Bilbao, Bordeaux, Dublin, Genoa, Malaga, Nice, Pisa, Quimper, Rome, Seville, Turin, Venice, Verona and Zurich. These all earn 80 tier points.

There are also some truly exceptional fares available in Club World if you are willing to start your journey in Dublin or elsewhere in Europe. This includes Hawaii for £1,100. I wrote about these here.

The best thing to do if you are interested is to pop over to ba.com and have a look around before midnight on Tuesday.
