British Airways is offering special fares to encourage customers to enjoy all that the UK has to offer plus a choice of one of over 80 European destinations.

 

The UK is always a popular holiday destination for Australians, thanks to its world-class events, rich culture and history, and fantastic dining and shopping options. Now travellers can also experience the sights and sounds of one of Europe’s great cities on the one special fare, whether it is the romance of Paris, the history of Rome, or the markets of Marrakesh.

 

By booking before midnight on 31 May 2013, customers can travel in World Traveller economy from Sydney to London and then on to a choice of one European city:
-       Sydney to London and Rome from $1,846*
-       Sydney to London and Barcelona from $1,840*
-       Sydney to London and Paris from $1,858*

Making travel to the UK and Europe an even more attractive prospect British Airways recently introduced its Boeing 777-300ER, featuring the very newest cabins on the Australian route. Furthermore, all Australian services now arrive into Heathrow T5, providing Australian customers smoother access to British Airways’ extensive network of European destinations.

 

"British Airways has always worked hard to provide customers with the best of British service. We are really excited by our latest offer that showcases over 80 UK and European destinations, providing customers with not only a vast choice of destinations, but also seamless connections at the world’s best airport terminal, Heathrow Terminal 5, as voted by Skytrax for the second year in a row,” said Nicole Backo, British Airways Regional General Manager, South West Pacific. “With our new aircraft, extensive European network, and special low fares, we are confident that our customers will enjoy a smooth and comfortable door-to-door experience.”
