British Airways Launches 'London for Free'

Roundtrip Air and Two Nights' Free Hotel From $436


MONTREAL, Aug. 10, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- British Airways today launched its popular 'London for Free' sale, offering two nights' free hotel in London.

'London for Free' offers travellers two nights' free hotel accommodation at select three and four star hotels in central London when purchasing roundtrip airfare between the U.S. and the U.K.

Roundtrip airfares begin at $436 between Montreal and London. Comparable airfares are available from all 4 British Airways' Canadian cities. 

Prices are available for sale through Thursday midnight (EDT), Aug. 19, 2010. Travel is valid from Oct. 21, 2010, through Dec. 19, 2010. 

London hotels participating in 'London For Free' include the Royal National, President, Jurys Inn Heathrow, Central Park, Thistle Euston, Fraser Place Queens Gate, Hilton London Docklands and Kensington Close. The two free hotel nights are based on double occupancy; single occupants are offered one free hotel night.

British Airways introduced 'dynamic packaging' last year on ba.com. The new technology, which allows customers to buy flight+hotel packages in one easy booking, provides BA with a strong proposition in the increasingly sophisticated and price conscious leisure travel market. 

World Traveller roundtrip fares are based in Canadian dollars and must be booked and purchased seven days in advance and are non-refundable. Fares may be higher for other travel dates and from other Canadian departure gateways. Weekend (Thursday-Sunday) surcharge applies at $30 each way. Fares are subject to government approval and do not include security, insurance and fuel surcharges, airport fees, Air Travellers Security Charges and taxes. Minimum stay of Saturday night is required and maximum stay is 11 months. Other significant restrictions apply.
