We already reported about British Airways’ amazing first and business class partner sale. Within this sale, there is a special treat hidden for aviation enthusiasts. You can fly BA1 & BA2, British Airways’ nonstop service from London City airport to JFK, at £1,010 / €1,105; given you purchase two roundtrip tickets. This offer is only valid for flights departing in September 2019.
These flights are operated by an Airbus A318 in all business class layout. Seats are arranged in a 2-2 pattern and can be reclined to a lie-flat-position.
