75th anniversary deal sees summer Club World flyers enjoy free one-leg upgrade to FIRST
British Airways - the UK's flagship airline which operates 21 weekly services from the UAE to London Heathrow - is offering Club World (business class) customers a complimentary one-leg upgrade to its award-winning FIRST cabin.
The offer - part of the airline's celebrations in the run-up to October's 75th anniversary of Middle East services - is available on any full fare Club World return trip to UK, US or Canada between 1st June and 31st July.
"Our 75th anniversary of Middle East services is an important milestone for us, and one of the reasons for our enduring prosperity in this vital market is the growth of the region's business travel community," said Paul Starrs, British Airways' Commercial manager, Middle East.
"British Airways' Club World product is extremely popular with the UAE's business community, and the complimentary upgrades to FIRST will make the Club World fares even more attractive to our loyal customers.
"Both cabins set airline industry standards and I'd encourage our Middle East customers seeking the opportunity to experience both of these exclusive cabins to log onto ba.com at the earliest to make sure they can take advantage of this celebratory offer," continued Starrs.
British Airways is currently rolling out its next generation Club World seat across its fleet, with full embodiment on track to be completed by the middle of next year. The airline, which operates 14 weekly flights from Dubai - and seven weekly flights from Abu Dhabi - to London Heathrow, marks its official 75th landmark anniversary in October.
