If you fly to Chicago, Hong Kong or 16 other destinations as an Executive Club member in First or Club World cabins between 3 August and 10 September 2009, you’ll earn triple BA Miles.

No further info as yet….

As it happens, I will be flying to LAX during this period. Haven’t booked the ticket yet. Do you know if this offer will apply for LAX (or possibly SFO) as well?

Double bad for me 🙁

I fly via LHR, but it is not the starting point.

I am going to LAX, not SFO. Obviously, I could have chosen SFO an a connection, but …

Besides, when I fly discounted business, I suppose it does not apply then.

Anyways, thanks for the update!

That’s a shame RoadKing.

If it’s not a rude question, could I ask how much you paid for your exEUR Club World flight?

[RoadKing]

Not at all rude.

For the return ticket to LAX via LHR (J class to LHR and I class between LHR and LAX) I paid £2043.

I was considering breaking up the tickets and add a flight from SFO to LAX so I would have my intercontinental starting from LHR and thus qualify for the triple offer, but when I checked online, BA was asking £6372 for just the LHR – SFO leg.

Obviously, that was out of question. Quite frankly, I am stunned by the difference. If I were living on the islands I would definitely consider a one way ticket out of England to start the trip elsewhere and save £4300…

This of course provided you do not check any luggage.

Booking flights exEUR has considerable savings.

This is a useful tool I have used to find the best deals:
