UK Travellers spoilt by British Airways - Free upgrades to First Class and Concorde

Business travellers’ dreams will come true as they will receive a free upgrade to First on one sector of their journey when they book their next British Airways’ long haul business class ticket.

For passengers flying in the airline’s Club World (business class) cabin to New York JFK, British Airways is offering a free upgrade to Concorde on one leg of that journey.

The offer, which is launched on Monday 1st September, in conjunction with Visa, is available to passengers who book a fully flexible Club World return ticket from 2 September to 31 December 2002 inclusive for travel during the same period. It is valid on the majority of routes on the British Airways’ long haul network. 

The upgrade is confirmed at the time of booking and the passenger can choose which sector of their journey they would like to upgrade, subject to availability.

Dale Moss, British Airways Director of Sales said: "We are very aware how tight travel budgets are at the moment and are delighted to link up with Visa to give our Club World customers the opportunity to sample an upgrade to First and Concorde for free."

Executive Club and On Business members will earn BA Miles and points for the cabins that they actually book and fly in.
