Here’s my recent review of British Airways first class, Austin – London Heathrow and my review of British Airways business class, London Heathrow – Austin.

British Airways First Class

As usual, the sale is stackable with the $400 AARP premium cabin discount and with the 10% Chase discount.

In fact, the sale plus two discounts brings down roundtrip first class transatlantic travel to as low as $2108.70.

Here are the two discounts:

1. You have to be an AARP member and log into your account, this discount is why I pay my $12.50 to be an Associate (‘under 50’) member. Go through the AARP portal, then book your tickets, the premium cabin sale pricing will come up with the appropriate AARP discount embedded.

2. Eligible Chase credit card holders can use promo code CARDOFFERU from the co-brand Visa to take 10% off.

When searching for space you’ll see results like this:

You can book business class for $1658.70.

Note that the Chase discount won’t apply to Aer Lingus flights if you should choose one of those.
