Apparently, if you’re not on the run from the authorities – you can also take the ferry. There are some awesome Premium Economy deals to San Francisco right now, which bring an instant upgrade to your comfort, and the potential to upgrade to a flat bed for just 30,000 points…
The Premium Economy Deals
British Airways is making moves in quite a few European cities, tempting travelers to connect through London with super low premium economy deals. Starting at £550 round trip, you can fly the Airbus A380 on the long haul journey from London to San Francisco, a flight in which 6” of extra legroom goes a long way. If you happen to hold British Airways Avios, or American Express Ultimate Rewards Points, these flights can be upgraded for 30,000 points each way, provided seats are available. Here’s how to do it. And yes, it’s actually a much better deal than using your points to book business class on its own.
