British Airways gave a heads up to Flyertalk and is currently sending out emails to announce 50% off the mileage required for award bookings. This offer is valid for redemptions in all cabins, a roundtrip award is required, and is limited to bookings on mainline British Airways flights (no subsidiaries or partners). The booking period is November 21 – 28 (ending on London time presumably).
This is truly a huge offer, especially since while there’s a limited time to book there’s no restriction on when travel can occur other than how far out BA’s schedules have been loaded.
Good luck trying to book. I’m just getting “site overloaded”.
There site was down for award checking. I called BA and the agent checked and nothing available from LAX to LON portion all the way from November 24th to next August in economy class.
Just booked Premium Ecomomy TXL-PHX-TXL for 37.500 miles,no problems (except nasty oil price surcharge)
