Attention Atlanta: British Airways joins business class fare war to London

British Airways, apparently offended by Delta’s crazy-low business class airfares from New York to London, is matching the fare from Delta’s Atlanta hub. Atlanta to London-Gatwick in BA’s excellent business class is available on select dates for as low as $1271 round trip, including all taxes. (I found this fare on Orbitz with the arbitrary dates January 22 and 31.) The coach fares are similar to Delta’s New York fares, too.

One quirk of BA’s business class (”Club World“) is that half the seats face forward, while half face backward. See the layout here.

    The fare code is IRCNA50. Yes, you earn miles for the fare, including class-of-service bonuses, if that’s what you’re worried about. A very comfortable way to fly for reasonably cheap…
