If you live in Denver, Phoenix or San Diego, now's the chance to jump on this short-term deal--the offer ends Thursday, October 10--for the absolute cheapest airfare you'll see to London. Period.

British Airways is celebrating its new routes into London's Heathrow from these three departure points. Formerly, the carrier flew into Gatwick Airport, nearly 40 miles outside of London. The new landing point puts you 23 miles closer in, so it saves you time. And, temporarily it saves you money.

As we said, the sale ends on the 10th--that's tomorrow, hello!--so don't delay. Fares are good for Monday-Wednesday departures from October 26, when the routes change, through Decemember 12, 2002. You must return no later than January 11, 2003 (blackout dates: December 18-23). A minimum Saturday stay is required with a maximum 30-day visit. Expect fees and taxes close to an additional $100.

You can book online at www.ba.com or over the phone at 800/AIRWAYS. These fares can also be purchased through a travel agent.
