Our Verdict

This only works on BA metal and not partner flights. The discount also only applies to the miles portion and not the cash (taxes/fees) portion of the flight. Main problem with BA is always the high fees and this doesn’t solve that problem at all. Given the current uncertainty this promotion really isn’t that exciting, but I’m sure some will get some use out of it.
