British Airways Reveals First Class Wing at London Heathrow Terminal 5

British Airways has released the first official details of ‘The First Wing‘ at its London Heathrow home. The First Wing will encompass and enlarge the existing First Class check in area at the South end of Terminal 5, linking through to new security channels which, for the first time, will allow eligible passengers direct access to the carrier’s Galleries First Lounge.
The First Wing will be open to members of the British Airways Executive Club at the Gold tier and above, as well as to Emerald cardholders of oneworld alliance frequent flyer programmes and, of course, to all those travelling in British Airways’ First Class. The latter will also enjoy direct access to The Concorde Room.
The check-in area is 250% larger than the original First Class zone, and The First Wing is defined by a three metre high and 29 metre long curved wall, which serves to guide passengers through to the lounge complex.
The First Wing is slated to open in early April 2017. For more information, visit ba.com.

British Airways has followed-up its Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotion with flash savings on Club World business class and First Class prices to New York – when booked in conjunction with hotel accommodation. The so-called ‘Inclusive Tour’ or IT fares are non-refundable and non-changeable, but offer advertised additional savings of up to £800 per person.
The fares are bookable now at ba.com, and are featured on the airline’s ‘Club World Deals‘ page, with sample offers of 3 nights at New York’s DoubleTree by Hilton Metropolitan Hotel from £1184.50 per person, including return Club World flights from London Gatwick – undercutting even the headline advertised price slightly.
Other advertised flight & hotel offers include:
Club World flights and 3 Nights at 5* Intercontinental New York Barclay from £1,349 per person
Club World flights and 3 Nights at 5* Waldorf Astoria from £1,399 per person
First Class flights and 3 Nights at 5* Intercontinental New York Barclay from £1,949 per person
First Class flights and 3 Nights at 5* Waldorf Astoria from £1,999 per person
All prices are based on two passengers travelling together.
Flights booked in this offer qualify for Avios and Tier Points in the British Airways Executive Club, and members of the club at the Bronze level and above benefit from all amenities associated with their level of status in the programme, including (as relevant) fast track security and boarding, lounge access and seat selection. In addition, bonus Avios are awarded to Executive Club members for BA Holidays booking, as shown in the screenshot above.
Note that IT fares do not earn points in the BA OnBusiness SME Loyalty programme, however.
Offers are valid for selected travel dates between 20th December 2016 & 1st January 2017.
The booking deadline is midnight 5th December 2016. To check availability and to book, visit ba.com.

BA Black Friday: 787 Dreamliner to Abu Dhabi £191 & 13600 Avios Return

British Airways has added to its range of Black Friday promotions with a £301 special fare on its new direct Boeing 787 Dreamliner service to Abu Dhabi. The airline is also offering the opportunity to save an additional £110 by redeeming 13,600 Avios, bringing the fare down to £190.87 return:
Members of the Executive Club will also earn Tier Points and Avios on the fare, meaning that a Gold Executive Club cardholder could make 8,520 Avios back, bringing their net outlay down to 5,080 Avios.
Bookings must be made by 23:59 on Monday 28th November 2016, for travel between 11th January & 20th March, between 21st April & 23rd May, and between 31st May & 10th June 2017.
For travellers wishing to upgrade to World Traveller Plus Premium Economy, a return fare of £716 is also available, which can be reduced to £495.87 by redeeming 32,000 Avios. The potential Avios earn-back is 13,636, leaving a net outlay of 18,364 Avios.
In all cases, the Avios discount does not rely on the availability of ‘pure’ Avios seats for redemption – potentially making this a particularly good and easy use of points.
