It is always risky writing about deals which are not yet launched as there is always a chance that they get pulled at the last minute or start late. So, if it is not live when you read this, don’t blame me.

The British Airways September sale is due to start today and runs until 20th September. I don’t know the valid travel dates yet.

British Airways A350

Details are hopefully here. I will do a full article on the pricing either tomorrow or Thursday, but the headline prices should include LA from £478 in World Traveller, Miami from £549, Orlando from £413 and Abu Dhabi from £399. BA Holidays deals in World Traveller will start from New York at £449 per person.

Of more interest to the HfP market, Club Europe holiday deals will start at £259 per person with long-haul deals starting at £1,599 each for Club World to New York.
