It has been a long time coming, but British Airways has now loaded sale fares in its World Traveller (Economy) and World Traveller Plus (Premium Economy) cabins for travel to destinations worldwide on selected dates into 2019. Periods of availability vary by destination, reflecting seasonal demand variations. Fares must be booked by 23:59 BST on 25th September 2018. An official ‘Sale’ page has now been published to the airline’s website at ba.com but, as always, the BA Low Fare Finder is the best way to check the new fares and availability.

Overall, Economy fares are 6% lower and Premium Economy fares are 6% higher than in the last full sale. Sydney returns to top-billing with fares from £628 in Economy, for example. Singapore is available from £399, compared to £499 last time. Cape Town does well in both Economy – from £512, and Premium Economy – from £1187.

In North America, New York is £50 lower in Economy than in the last sale, with fares starting from £317, and Fort Lauderdale from £644 in Premium Economy is notable.

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.

Although the ba.com Sale page is live, the fastest way to check availability and to book may still be to visit the Low Fares Finder at ba.com.
