And as if these deals weren’t good enough, British Airways is also offering 2,000 bonus miles when you book. Talk about a great deal. This little Thrifty Mama has never even been out of the United States before, but with these bargains, I’m really tempted. If I could go anywhere on their deal list, I would probably choose Rome. Next to the Holy Land, it’s probably the only other place I would really want to see. I can’t imagine what it must be like to see the Vatican or the ancient Colosseum.
Are you planning a trip outside of the country this holiday season? I’d love to hear where you’re planning to go!

The rates do not include taxes and fees which will add apx. another $150 or so.
There’s another deal going on where you can sign up for a British Airways credit card ($75/year) and get two roundtrip tickets to Europe out of the deal. I sent details to Crystal.
Katie was having trouble posting her message on here and emailed me, so I thought I’d share it on here. This is a pretty sweet deal guys:

British Airways has another deal going that’s pretty amazing. See below:
This is a monster promotion from British Airways and Chase bank. [1]Go to the link below to apply for their Visa card. It’s a $75 fee per year.

After you’re approved and you make your first purchase, you get 50,000 [2]British Air miles. That’s enough for a free ticket to “Zone 1″ in Europe. That includes London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and a couple of other cities.

After you spend at least $2,000 in three months on the charge card, you receive an additional 50,000 bonus miles.
Folks, that’s two tickets to Europe for $75.
Spend at least $30,000 in a year and you’ll get a companion ticket on British. The companion ticket is ONLY good on British Airways iron, STILL–it’s a great deal.

I recommend using caution with credit cards, but if you can do it right (and not go in debt in the process), then this is an incredible deal. Just make sure you pay off your card EVERY MONTH!! Thanks Katie!
This credit card deal could be really great, though I wanted to point out that taxes and fees apply as well. So, for example, even if you use your 50,000 miles to buy a roundtrip flight to London from middle America you will pay approx $370 in additional taxes. $370 is a great deal for a flight to London, but it’s not quite free, so just keep that in mind. If you’re planning a trip this would be a great option – we’re considering it for a big East Europe trip next summer. If anyone has tried this I’d love to hear their experience!
I didn’t realize you’d pay that much in taxes and fees. We usually cash in miles with our Alaska Airlines card and only pay $10 for a free ticket. I’m new to British Airways. It’s still a good deal though!
