Almost 1m BA fares to sell for £29
British Airways continues to fight back against budget rivals by increasing the availability of low fares from Gatwick to Europe.
Almost two million additional low fare seats will be available each year, with more than 900,000 starting at £29 one-way (including taxes and charges) and a further 700,000 from £34.
Eight extra destinations including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Geneva, Madrid and Toulouse join Bordeaux, Grenoble and Manchester in the £29 fare category, saving up to £23.
Thirteen cities such as Naples, Pisa, Verona and Varna begin at £34, saving up to £44 and further away places such as Izmir, Dubrovnik and Thessaloniki begin at £44 one-way, a saving of up to £32.
BA claims rates are up to 56% lower than previous fares, while upgrades to Club Europe cost £50 extra each way.
Head of sales Andrew Crawley said: “We had a huge response from customers to the new European fares that we launched in April, and it has prompted us to make this substantial increase in the number of seats available at these low prices all year round.
“As well as low fares, customers will also benefit from our full-service ethos including seat selection, online check-in for everyone, free baggage allowance, free carriage of sporting equipment and excellent customer service.”
