The most important bit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britishairways.com\/en-gb\/offers\/sale\/sale-europe#luxury\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Europe Luxury Sale can be accessed here<\/a>. You can find some deal examples on that page, but the best way to navigate is via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britishairways.com\/en-gb\/offers\/sale\/sale-europe#luxury\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BA&#8217;s low fare finder<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the deals, departing from London (Club Europe, return):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"block-001782ac-9c13-4fc4-9e27-4232d7d010ab\"><li>Basel \u00a3132<\/li><li>Billund \u00a3122<\/li><li>Dublin \u00a3107<\/li><li>Krakow \u00a3124<\/li><li>Luxembourg \u00a3126<\/li><li>Pisa \u00a3132<\/li><li><strong>Athens <\/strong>\u00a3195<\/li><li><strong>Bucharest <\/strong>\u00a3172<\/li><li><strong>Catania <\/strong>\u00a3228<\/li><li><strong>Gran Canaria<\/strong> \u00a3204<\/li><li><strong>Istanbul <\/strong>\u00a3182<\/li><li><strong>Larnaca <\/strong>\u00a3192<\/li><li><strong>Malta <\/strong>\u00a3236<\/li><li><strong>Reykjavik <\/strong>\u00a3154<\/li><li><strong>Santorini <\/strong>\u00a3268<\/li><li><strong>Sofia <\/strong>\u00a3146<\/li><li><strong>Tirana <\/strong>\u00a3196<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The destinations in bold earn you 160 TP return, and the ones in front earn 80 TP. Remember that BA has dropped their qualification criteria by 30%. You need 210 \/ 420 \/ 1050 TP to earn Bronze \/ Silver \/ Gold status, which means 2 \/ 3 \/ 7 return trips respectively, if you take the 160-TP routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/british-airways-silver-card.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/british-airways-silver-card.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4628\" width=\"240\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/british-airways-silver-card.png 480w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/british-airways-silver-card-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>From a practical point of view, I&#8217;d recommend going for Silver, which is Oneworld Sapphire equivalent. It only takes three returns, which is fairly doable, and costs less than \u00a3500 if you take the cheapest routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also a few good economy-class deals to Asia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Beijing \u00a3369<\/li><li>Shanghai \u00a3368<\/li><li>Hong Kong \u00a3403<\/li><li>Bangkok \u00a3379<\/li><li>Singapore \u00a3355<\/li><li>Kuala Lumpur \u00a3380<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I don&#8217;t think I have to stress on the uncertainly for any travel at the moment. Good news is you could always request a future travel voucher if you don&#8217;t want to fly anymore. And in case of flight cancellations &#8211; I&#8217;ve had two recently and the refund was processed really fast, and it never took me more than 2 minutes to get through to the Gold service line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We mentioned British Airways&#8217;s latest sale a while ago, which had quite a few nice offers.
