The British Airways Business Class Deals
Business class is nice. Flat beds, lounges, multi course dining and perhaps a glass of champagne make every journey all the more sweet. With Los Angeles or Las Vegas as your final destination, sunshine and endless entertainment await on the other end. There are excellent prices on British Airways and American Airlines flights for departures originating in Inverness, starting at just £1050 all in. You can route via New York and other cities to maximize tier points, bringing at least 600 points round trip, also known as instant British Airways Executive Club Silver. Read up on that here.
The Dates You Can Jet Off To West Coast USA
These fantastic deals are available all throughout 2019, with departures on select days. You’ll do best if you actually use the more roundabout routings, rather than try to route directly. The very best prices are for departures on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays, depending on the month. An exact 7 day stay brings the lowest prices. So a leave on Monday, return on Monday will generally bring the lowest prices. Longer or shorter will cost around £50 extra.
How To Book These Amazing OneWorld Deals
It’s believed that these are one day, and one day only deals. Basically: figure your dates out and book fast, because they more than likely will be gone tomorrow. March is the sweet spot month with the widest availability. These deals are being sold by American Airlines. Simply find a great deal on Google Flights using this link for Los Angeles and this one for Las Vegas and follow the Google instructions to book. You can always browse on British Airways as well.
Thanks to Michael Sears for the tip!
There seems to be some availability to do INV > HEL > LAS (via LHR & JFK) which would bag 960TPs for £1,227
Thanks for sharing GTSP! £1,080pp for my preferred dates for two (INV-LHR-JFK-LAX and LAX-BOS-LHR-INV).
I’ve placed them on hold though will probably order in the next hour or two as i’m aware the “hold” feature is a bit of a chocolate teapot.
Just hope Qatar don’t roll-out a massive sale on the 17th…
Hi
I live in London. If I book this flight from INV can I skip that part and begin at LHR?
Sorry if it’s a silly question 🙂
All good! Once you skip a flight, the rest cancels. Short answer: no, you can’t skip.
Short synopsis: It’s totally worth taking a 45 min flight to save £££££’s.
Jermaine you cannot skip on the outbound but you can skip the final leg LHR-INV
