BA is offering Free Upgrades if you book through their call centre.

Not a bad deal…even though the economy price is a bit expensive, much cheaper than Qantas Premium Economy.

Of course, everyone lives in hope of an upgrade. But now you can guarantee it on your next trip. Book World Traveller Plus, for example, and you’ll fly one way in Club World, our business class cabin, where you will enjoy a level of comfort and privacy you won’t want to end.

For travel from Sydney to London for instance, choose from any one of the following to receive your upgrade:

• Purchase a World Traveller economy ticket from $2,462* and enjoy a one-way upgrade to World Traveller Plus, our premium economy cabin.

• Purchase a World Traveller Plus ticket from $4,997* and enjoy a one-way upgrade to Club World, our business class cabin.

• Purchase a Club World ticket from $9,746* and enjoy a one-way upgrade to First.

This offer is only available for tickets booked through the British Airways call centre on 1300 767 177 (open Mon to Fri from 0900-1730) or through your preferred travel agent. Just mention the ’Leap Up’ fare offer when you book.

    Only one way upgrade when buying return tickets. Still better then nothing…

    Unfortunately, the "nothing" option is one you need to take very seriously if considering this deal.
    BA are clearly taking desperate measures to attract punters whilst they have ongoing IR issues.
    I wouldn't book with them (unless I had carefully checked that the likelihood of strike action in the next few days was next to nothing & I wanted to fly tomorrow with free upgrade!).
    The prices are not cheap anyway (including the one way upgrade)?

    Without having read the fine print, it appears that you are simply purchasing fares in different booking classes for each direction. This concept is nothing new and has been around with many airlines for a long time. Having looked at the prices they are asking, the deal doesn't look that spectacular anyway. It sounds more like marketing spin to me.

    Seems expensive for just a one-way upgrade

    The original un-upgraded prices are insane prices for premium economy. I wouldn't want to by buying with them outside of this sale.

      premium economy one way = economy return

      So Qantas wants around $2039 one way for premium economy Sydney to London.

      So it's bargain and premium is almost up there with business

    I didn't call BA, but I guess, when you mention the ’Leap Up’ fare offer when you book, the price they will give you will be much higher then the one you can get by booking on the web, which means that the upgrade won't be really free.

      When they've had prior offers that hasn't been the case. You can always check online first, then call for the offer and complain if different… though I doubt it will be.

      As mentioned, the offer's not that great anyway… no need for them to add other tricks.
