Published 23 October 2026 | Updated 23 October 2026 by Kate Acaster
The BA business class sale runs until 3 November 2026, with up to £500 off return Club World fares and smaller cuts on Club Europe. Headline prices run from £350 return to Lisbon in Club Europe to £3,999 to Singapore in Club World. The saving is modest. BA measures it against the cheapest fare it sold between 9 and 21 October, not a normal price, and New York at £2,749 is well above the £1,698 and £1,799 headlines Turning Left for Less reported for BA’s October 2025 and February 2026 sales, though on different dates.
What’s in the sale
These are BA’s own headline fares, return and per person, from London, checked on ba.com on 23 October 2026, using prices BA published on 14 October. Flights have been bookable since 14:00 GMT on 22 October and holiday packages since 00:01 GMT that day. Both close at 23:59 GMT on 3 November.
| Route | Cabin | Price from | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lisbon | Club Europe return | £350 | Travel on selected dates in January and February 2027 |
| New York | Club World return | £2,749 | JFK or Newark, 20 January to 20 March 2027, Saturday night stay |
| Singapore | Club World return | £3,999 | 1 January to 31 July 2027, five-night minimum stay |
| Europe city breaks | Club Europe plus 3 nights | £429pp | 4-star hotel, price per person, 1 to 30 January 2027 |
BA quotes the lowest fare from ‘London (All)’, so the airport you pick can change the price, and London City only has Club Europe fares. The city break prices are per person, with Prague, Amsterdam, Berlin, Dublin and Munich among the destinations.
Is the BA business class sale good value?
No, not as a bargain. The saving is real but modest, and the full £500 applies only to selected Club World routes and travel periods. According to Turning Left for Less, the October 2025 business class sale listed New York from £1,698 and the February 2026 sale from £1,799, so this sale’s £2,749 is roughly £1,000 higher. Those headline fares covered different travel dates, so treat it as a guide rather than a like-for-like test.
What’s the catch?
Promotional fares are non-refundable, can’t be combined with other offers and are open to UK customers only, and availability may be extremely limited. You can part-pay with Avios, but you can’t combine the sale with a full Avios redemption. Phone bookings carry a £10 fee per person per ticket.
“BA’s baseline is the lowest fare it actually sold in the 13 days before launch, not an inflated ‘was’ price. Even so, a few hundred pounds off a fare in the thousands is only a small cut, and it matters only if your dates fit. Check your dates against a normal search before you commit.”

What you get in business class
Club Europe is BA’s short-haul business class and Club World its long-haul cabin. Club World leaves from Heathrow and Gatwick, and Club Europe also from London City. On selected Club World flights, including New York, BA fits its Club Suite: a seat with a door, direct aisle access and a fully flat bed 198cm (6ft 6in) long, according to BA.
The verdict
This is a sale for people who have already decided to fly business class. If you are still deciding whether to pay for the cabin, this gives you little reason to start. If you were going anyway and your dates fit, New York from 20 January to 20 March or Singapore up to 31 July 2027 are the routes to price. Our guide to Virgin Atlantic business class is worth reading before you pay.
The city break packages
Club Europe flights plus three nights in a four-star hotel start at £429pp. Price the same trip as a separate flight and hotel before you book, because the package is only worth it if it comes in lower. The offer ends at 23:59 GMT on 3 November 2026.
How to book
A few tips before you search. Tap Check availability to go straight there.
- Search “London (All)” first, then check each airport separately, because that view shows only the lowest fare. Club World is from Heathrow and Gatwick only.
- Check the route’s travel window and minimum stay before you pick dates. New York needs a Saturday night and Singapore a five-night minimum.
- Log in to your Executive Club account before you search if you want the Avios part-payment option, which only shows once you’re logged in.
- Remember the fares are non-refundable. Our guide to British Airways baggage allowance covers what’s included before you commit.
About BA’s business class sales
Turning Left for Less reported BA business class sales in October 2025 and February 2026, and this is the third in 13 months. That points to roughly two a year, in October and February. If the pattern holds, the next would land around February 2027, though BA has not said so. For when to expect the next, see our guide to British Airways sale dates. If you’d rather not pay for the seat, our guide to a cheap business class upgrade covers the alternative.
