British Airways offering cheaper business class flights

British Airways has launched a sale that will cut up to 40 per cent off the cost of its business class flights.

The Club World promotion will offer cheaper flights to destinations across the British Airways network until June 30th.

Travellers will be able to save as much as £998, according to the airline, with business class flights to New York available from £1,099 and services to Sydney cut to £2,899.

Club World customers are offered amenities including audio and video on demand, a fully flat bed and access to lounges at Heathrow Airport and New York JFK.

Richard Tams, British Airways' head of UK and Ireland sales, said: "These are amazing savings. Our customers can travel in real style and luxury, pampering themselves with a spa treatment in our lounges at Terminal 5 before enjoying a fully flat bed on long-haul flights - all for a fraction of the normal price."

The airline will be offering business class flights to a new destination later this year when it launches a service to Las Vegas.
