It really couldn't be much simpler or more affordable. If you book online, you get up to two free nights in your choice of nine London hotels. The rooms are gratis, and, what's more, fares to London are as cheap as they come; starting from $210 out of New York, $300 from Chicago, $388 from Dallas, $380 from San Francisco or $368 from Tampa. All in all you can fly out of 21 different U.S. airports. And while the hotels are in London only, you can choose from any of 44 European destinations (Rome, Paris, Stockholm, Moscow, etc.) to earn your room, meaning you can shack up in London going over and coming back. Prices are based on two persons traveling together. Single travelers earn only a single night's free stay. Unfair, we know, but it is still free.
There are a few rules, provisos, exception and what not to heed. Tickets require a seven-day advance purchase. You must book online and you must reserve your room at the time of purchase. Most importantly, you must buy no later than January 23, but travel is good from January 14 through April 18, 2003. Additionally, if you choose an e-ticket, British Airways will knock $10 off the fare automatically.
This offer is based on availability, so don't hem and haw--pick your dates and book now. For more information, including links to the available hotels, go to www.britishairways.com and click on the promotional flash unit on the site's main page.
