Every once in a while, British Airways offers travel deals that are hard to pass up, like earlier this year when the carrier sold business-class fares to Europe starting at $1,659 round-trip. Now, BA is adding in another key travel component to its latest promotion — hotel accommodations.
With BA’s latest promotion, travelers can fly in Club World business-class from New York to London or Paris and enjoy a two-night stay at a hotel from just $1,999 per person. The package must be booked by July 31 for travel between August 1 and August 31, 2016.
While you can technically book this trip as a solo traveler, the package itself is based on double occupancy so you’re getting a far better deal if you book it for two.
- Club World flights + two-night hotel stay for two from $1,999 per person ($2,001 for Paris)
- Club World flights + three-night hotel stay for two from $2,043 per person ($2,119 for Paris)
- Club World flights + five-night hotel stay for two from $2,172 round-trip ($2,319 for Paris)
