The great thing about the British Airways companion pass is that it s valid on rewards affordable hotels downtown vancouver bc tickets. affordable hotels downtown vancouver bc Yeah boy. Most airlines companion passes don t allow you to use them on award tickets. Most of the time they can only be used for full fare tickets. Not with BA!
That being said .British Airways does have high taxes, fees, and fuel surcharges. Knowing that, flying on an award ticket in coach isn t a good value, but booking an award ticket on Business/First class and using your travel together companion pass can pack some serious value. Momma said knock you out.
You can fly from NYC to LHR in business class for 80,000 Avios and $1,091. And if you use your travel together companion pass, it wouldn t cost you any more miles, but you would be responsible for an additional $1,091 in taxes, affordable hotels downtown vancouver bc fees, and fuel surcharges. The grand total would be 80,000 Avios and $2,182 for two tickets from NYC to LHR in business class. These two tickets would normally cost you $7,310! Yes, someone is paying pay these prices not me, though. Hard to imagine. But by using your travel together pass, you would save over $5,000. That s a big savings if you normally purchase these tickets.
Ok, lets do one more example, and this time in First Class from NYC to London. Alright, so now it s 120,000 affordable hotels downtown vancouver bc Avios and $1,091. That s the same amount in taxes and fees as business class! And it s only 40,000 more Avios miles. And if you use your travel together pass, it would be 120,000 Avios and $2,182! Now this first class ticket would normally cost $11,422 or $22,844 for two people. I m not sure who, if anyone, ever pays these prices. But we are looking at a savings of over $20,000 by using Avios points and the British Airways companion affordable hotels downtown vancouver bc pass.
Now I m not an idiot, and I know that spending $30,000 in a calendar year and paying a couple G s for flights isn t for the masses. But there are definitely many people out there who fly often and often pay thousands of $$$ for their tickets. If that s you, then you can definitely find some savings in the Travel Together ticket with British Airways, especially affordable hotels downtown vancouver bc with first class tickets. British Airways has an excellent first class, too.
These were just two examples. In the past, I ve found long distance flights on BA with much less taxes and fees, and I m sure there are better deals out there. Also, I know for most people, the best use of Avios is for short haul domestic flights (since BA has a distance affordable hotels downtown vancouver bc based award chart), but that would not be the best use of a companion pass, IMHO. Obviously, you ll get the most value by using it on a first class long distance/international flight that would otherwise cost you thousands of dollars. Big savings is where it s at.
