In what might be the ‘airline fare deal of the year from the UK,’ British Airways has loaded Club World offers to some of its most popular longhaul destinations for an advertised £1007 per person return – representing a saving of up to 67% on the previous business class fare. Flights must be booked by midnight Thursday 4th December 2014. Outbound travel dates are between 21st December 2014 and 3rd January 2015, with all inbound travel to be complete by 11th January 2015.
The discounted fares earn full credit with both the British Airways Executive Club loyalty programme and also the OnBusiness Small & Medium Enterprise corporate rewards programme.
Owing to variations in, presumably, tax calculations and foreign exchange rates, the actual fares on sale can go a little lower than £1007 – down to £999 per person in return in some cases.

And, once again, Emirates is also running promotions from elsewhere in Europe that may interest even UK-based travellers. This time, Germany leads the way, with fares to selected destinations matched roughly Euro:Pound – and therefore up to 15% cheaper than UK prices.

| Middle East | from EUR 2,366 | from EUR 3,566 |
| Indian Ocean | from EUR 2,342 | from EUR 3,742 |

British Airways has loaded special Business Class fares for travel to the North Eastern USA during this coming summer’s UK school holidays. Whilst not comparable to some true ‘sale’ fares, they do represent discounts of up to 23% on those previously on offer.
Fares in the carrier’s Club World cabin for this promotion are from:
| Club World | ||
| Business | ||
| North America | ||
| Boston | £2,000.00 | |
| New York | £1,700.00 | |
| Washington | £2,000.00 | |
According to the fare rules, bookings must be made no later than 17th May, for outbound flights departing between 21st July and 31st August 2013. Reservations are non-flexible, and itineraries including Club World London City service (flight numbers BA1 to BA4) are not applicable. The fares do however earn full Executive Club and OnBusiness credits for eligible members.
In the absence of a specific landing page on the British Airways website, the ba.com Low Fare Finder is a useful tool in tracking down the best availability. For those utilising an offline travel agent, the fare code is ‘I4UKJB1’.

| Destination | Business Class fares per person | |||

| Chennai | £1,794 | £1,694 | £1,594 | £1,494 |

| Hong Kong | £1,988 | £1,888 | £1,788 | £1,688 |
| Cape Town | £2,080 | £1,980 | £1,880 | £1,780 |
| Auckland | £3,173 | £3,073 | £2,973 | £2,873 |
| Melbourne | £3,209 | £3,109 | £3,009 | £2,909 |

| Sydney | £3,221 | £3,121 | £3,021 | £2,921 |
| Brisbane | £3,224 | £3,124 | £3,024 | £2,924 |
Bookings must be made by 28th February, with a 72hr minimum advance purchase requirement. For full details and to book, visit the Companion Fares page at emirates.com/uk.
However: Emirates Airline has also issued a promotional code which offers substantial discounts on selected First Class companion fares departing from Spain. To qualify, two passengers must travel together by 30th June 2013, and bookings must be made by 28th February.
Emirates fly from both Barcelona and Madrid, employing Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on the routes to Dubai and featuring their First Class seat product. Passengers travelling onward from Dubai can select services operated by A380 and B777 aircraft fitted with Emirates First Class Suite.
The fares are (including conversion from xe.com with a 3% credit card exchange fee):
| Destination | First Class Fares per person | GBP Equivalent |
| Dubai | 3,006 € | £2515 |
| Bahrain | 2,999 € | £2510 |
| Delhi | 3,055 € | £2560 |
| Dhaka | 3,026 € | £2532 |
| Narobi | 3,020 € | £2527 |
| Johannesburg | 3,039 € | £2543 |
| Maldives | 3,003 € | £2512 |
| Seychelles | 3,028 € | £2533 |
| Bangkok | 3,052 € | £2553 |
| Singapore | 3,060 € | £2560 |
| Auckland | 4,512 € | £3775 |
| Sydney | 4,520 € | £3782 |
Commencing the longhaul journey from Spain clearly adds an extra flight into most travellers’ itineraries, however the opportunity to enjoy First Class service at these fares may still interest other European passengers – particularly those who are members of Emirates Skywards loyalty programme who will earn increased miles in First. Both Barcelona and Madrid are linked directly to many European cities, including some which don’t currently enjoy Emirates service. For passengers originating in those cities, a connecting flight would be required anyway.
