This came through my inbox today and I thought it was worth sharing. Our friends at British Airways have launched a new promotion/sale to drive ticket sales for London. Not only are airfares on sales – but they’re also giving away two nights in a London hotel and two days of a car rental!
Here are the official details:
British Airways today launched its popular ‘London for Free’ sale, offering two nights’ free hotel in London.
‘London for Free’ offers travelers 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 $498 between New York (JFK or Newark) and London. Comparable airfares are available from all 19 British Airways’ U.S. 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.
