BA Club World to New York for £900 ex-Switzerland, and other deals

British Airways has launched a number of very cheap business class deals out of Switzerland.  These are well worth a look if you are planning any long-haul travel over the next six to nine months.

Full details can be found on the Swiss version (in English) of ba.com here.

It is important to note that these are published fares!  They are not fare errors and there is a 0% chance of BA cancelling your ticket on you.  If the Swiss Franc wasn’t so strong against Sterling at the moment these fares would be astounding – as it is, they are still very good.

These are the destinations listed on ba.com as under £1,500 return, assuming an exchange rate of £1 = CHF 1.5.  Other cities may well be available at these prices:

New York – CHF 1,350 (£900)

Boston – CHF 1,448 (£965)

Washington – CHF 1,539 (£1,026)

Miami – CHF 1,639 (£1,092)

Chengdu – CHF 2,267 (£1,511)

Accra – CHF 1,461 (£974)

Rio – CHF 1,978 (£1,318)

Buenos Aires – CHF 2,190 (£1,460)

Sao Paulo – CHF 1,914 (£1,276)

Port of Spain – CHF 1,947 (£1,298)

Delhi – CHF 2,085 (£1,390)

These fares seem to be available for travel until June 2016.  It is not clear how long you have to book.  Tickets are non-refundable once booked.
