On Thursday morning, the last two of British Airways’ 747s departed Heathrow for the final time. As the aircraft headed for retirement on a dreary morning, AvGeeks were left full of nostalgia, reminiscing on the memories with BA’s Queen of the Skies.
To commemorate the 747s, British Airways has launched a fare sale. As part of the sale, it’s advertising 747 business-class seats for just £999 return. The £999 fares are available on select destinations that the 747 used to fly across the U.S., Canada, India, Pakistan, Middle East, South Africa and the Indian Ocean.
In fact, we’re seeing fares even cheaper — from £974 return. Keep in mind before you book about travel restrictions currently in place. For example, travel to South Africa is currently restricted for those coming from the U.K.
Note that there are only 747 of these tickets available, so you’ll need to act quick.
