‘London For Free,’ a British
Airways fare sale to London and Europe from the New York area combined
with two free hotel nights in the British capital is being offered for
sale today through Friday, June 25th. Roundtrip airfares start at just $334 for shoulder season travel and free

two free hotel nights, also are available starting as low as $594 per

“For a graduation present, Father’s Day gift or spending a day or two at
one of London’s many art and music festivals, the ‘London for free’ offer
represents a significant opportunity to experience the best of Britain
when the summer season is in full bloom,” said Elizabeth Weisser, Vice
President Marketing North America for British Airways. “And the great
fares available for the autumn and winter make Britain’s traditional
attractions—museums, theatre, shops and restaurants and the British
countryside—all the more inviting.”

This special offer is available only from British Airways’ two New York
area airports, JFK and Newark, where British Airways offers a total of ten
daily flights to London Heathrow Airport.

Free attractions are in abundance throughout London during the summertime;
just to name a few: the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery,

Museum. Other free events are Art Fortnight London, June 21-July 5; City
of London Music Festival, June 1-Aug. 25; Notting Hill Carnival, Aug.
