£63 off BA long-haul and mid-haul flights, all classes – TODAY ONLY

To celebrate the Queen becoming the UK’s longest reigning monarch today, British Airways has launched a ONE DAY ONLY promotion.

Until midnight tonight (Wednesday) you will save £63 per person on any long haul or medium haul return flight.

The discount covers all classes, from World Traveller to First.  Because medium haul is included, the discount will work on short routes such as Tel Aviv or Moscow which attract long haul tier points.  Moscow, for example, is now around £180 return on some dates in economy.

Full details, the promotional code and the promotion rules are on ba.com here.

In summary:

Use CELEBRATE as the code on the payment page at ba.com

Book by midnight tonight

Travel ANY TIME – it is valid for bookings up to 29th August 2016

If you or (more likely) one of your travelling companions is not already a British Aiwrays Executive Club member, they will receive a bonus of 1,500 Avios for signing up – details here (scroll down).

You can find out more about this deal on this special section of ba.com.  Remember that you must book by midnight tonight.
