£29 seats from Gatwick
Over 200,000 seats have been loaded into the system at £29 each way between Gatwick and Europe. These are economy fares.
You can use the BA low fare finder, but this doesn’t show the promotional £29 fares. You simply have to hunt around different destinations and dates to find the £29 fares.
Save more by booking a holiday
It’s very often the case that you can get an even better deal by booking through British Airways Holidays. Try adding a night in a cheap hotel, or adding car hire, and the price can often be lower than for just the flight alone, and certainly a bargain compared to booking separately.
Booking via BA Holidays has other advantages. You can pay a deposit and then pay the balance 5 weeks before departure, and you earn 1 extra Avios per £
Book a flight in Club World or First and a car from Avis for destinations in the USA and Canada and save £100.

Club World vs Club Europe
If you’re new to it, Club World is long haul business class and Club Europe is short haul business class. In First and Club World you will get lounge access, priority check-in and boarding, fast-track security, very good seating depending on the aircraft, and fine dining on-board.
In Club Europe, you still get fast-track security, lounge access, priority boarding, and a meal and drink on board, but the seats are the same as standard seats with the middle seat kept empty. You do get to sit near the front for a faster exit and earn more tier points, but don’t expect fancy lie-flat seats.
Always check the seatmap for your intended flight using Seat Guru.
