Sorry for the long post but this is a great one - came out yesterday

British Airways, today, launches a fare sale between the USA and London offering all tickets at $100 each way or $200 round-trip from any of the airline's 19 USA gateway cities. These $200 round-trip tickets will only be offered for sale from Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2003, through midnight (EST), Thursday. Nov. 6, 2003 and will be valid for travel during the low season periods, Nov. 11, 2003 through Dec. 17, 2003,
and Dec. 24, 2003 through April 4, 2004.

"British Airways is offering its customers the chance to celebrate the centennial of powered flight with fares to London that are truly worthy of celebration," said Anne Tedesco, Director Leisure Retail Marketing British Airways North America. "And the winter season is the perfect time to visit London with the theatres, post-holiday sales, famous attractions and museums all in full swing.

"Whether an individual or a entire family is departing to London from New York, Miami, Houston or Los Angeles, just to name a few of British Airways' USA gateways, the per person fare is the same -- London is on sale from the entire USA."

Comparably reduced fares are also available for travel from spring through fall 2004. The New York area airports continue to sell at $100 one-way for travel April 5, 2004, through May 30, 2004, and Sept. 4 through Oct. 29, 2004, with all other gateways priced at just $150 one-way during these dates. $250
one-way tickets are available for the 2004 summer season, May 31, 2004 through Sept. 3, 2004.

"$500 for a round-trip flight during the peak summer season between anywhere in the USA and London is unheard of," Tedesco continued. "We are offering customers the chance to book their summer vacation early and leave themselves plenty of time to organize the details of their trip." Economy seat sale fares are based on mid-week travel Monday-Wednesday. A $30 weekend surcharge applies for Thursday-Sunday travel. Minimum stay is one Saturday night and maximum stay is 12 months. Fares are subject to availability and do not include government fees and taxes of approximately $98 and the $2.50 Sept. 11 security fee. Availability on same routes may be limited.

Further information on the 100 years of flight fare sale plus British Airways' flight schedules from the 19 USA gateway cities is available on the airline's website, LINK or from any local travel agent.

While I didnt jump on this I just wanted to say thanks for the info! Like the Jet blue,etc deals posted here if nothing else I always give them a read. This is one I will catch down the road at a similar special to go see in person what my distant cousins are up to.
Thanks Wheel

Other airlines have started to match this offer - there may still be deals out there. I just snagged a $100 fare on American Airlines to London.


wheel

I'm looking for this deal. Can share which airline you booked with?

wheel booked w/ American @ the same $100 price being offered by British Airways. If anyone else gets a similar deal, please post the airline. Thanks wheel!



<----- off to figure out accomodation costs and vacation time

Check with Britis Airways, American, an dVirgin Atlantic - they actually had a $90 fare! Others may also have good deals. I went with American since I am Platinum with and get double miles. With the bonuses, I will get 25,000 miles for the flight, enough for a US ticket!


wheel

Thanks. I obviously didn't read the passage I QUOTED correctly!

Thanks, wheel. I will check them all out now.

Update: I found a $85 each way fare from NY to London on Virgin Atlantic, but nothing close (w/in $50 each way) from Atlanta. If any of you have success from ATL, please let me know. Thanks!

Just got a Travelocity fare alert: $172 round trip from DC to Heathrow on Lufthansa.
