Today (Monday) is your last chance to book in the current British Airways ‘2 for 1’ business class sale.  There are some EXCELLENT deals here if you can travel before 30th September.  Our full article on the sale is here.

You need to travel with a companion to get these deals.  There is nothing here for the solo traveller I’m afraid.  The following routes are £2019 for two people in Club World:

• New York
• Miami
• Las Vegas
• New Orleans
• Philadelphia
• Washington
• Dubai
• Abu Dhabi

If you can dig a little deeper, we have:

Try to book via BA Holidays too (their ‘luxury’ page is here) and add a hotel or car hire – it may work out even cheaper.

The ba.com page for this sale is here.

To maximise your miles when paying, your best bet is the British Airways American Express Premium Plus card which earns double Avios (3 per £1) when you book at ba.com or via BA Holidays.  You do not get double Avios if you book with the free British Airways American Express card. 

Another option is American Express Preferred Rewards Gold which offers double points – 2 per £1 – when you book flight tickets directly with an airline.
