British Airways has loaded sale fares in its World Traveller (Economy) and World Traveller Plus (Premium Economy) cabins for travel to destinations worldwide on selected dates through to early 2018. Periods of availability vary by destination, reflecting seasonal demand variations. Fares must be booked by 23:59 GMT on 11th July 2017. An official ‘Sale’ page will undoubtedly be published later to the airline’s website at ba.com, but for now the BA Low Fare Finder is the best way to check the new fares and availability.

Overall, Economy fares are 3% higher than in the last sale, and Premium Economy fares are on average exactly the same. Sydney at £699 return in Economy remains very attractive in the market, but the £640 returns in Premium Economy to both New York and Boston recorded in the last sale have been followed-up by £765 and £746 fares respectively. Meanwhile, some Middle Eastern, Indian Ocean and African routes in Premium have been favoured this time, it seems, with Mauritius showing from £994 this time, compared to £1419 in the last sale. In fact, this particular route also offers £150 change flexibility at the sale fare.

All sale fares qualify for Avios and Tier Point credit in the British Airways Executive Club frequent flyer programme, as well as OnBusiness points for small and medium sized enterprises enrolled in that programme.
