Demonstrating that there are no hard feelings towards a former colony, British Airways has launched an Independence Day business class airfare sale to London.

In keeping with the holiday, they’re offering Club World seats for as low as $1776+ R/T.

These deals are good for travel through December 31st, but you have to book by July 6th to take advantage of the reduced business class airfare.

Prices are subject to availability and they do vary based on departure city. Visit British Airways Offers for more details, and keep reading for a look at the perks that come with a British Airways Club World seat…

The hits keep coming for first class and business class travelers. We’ve already seen Virgin Atlantic increase fuel surcharges for its “Upper Class” passengers, and now British Airways is following suit:

“Flyers in first class, Club World and World Traveller Plus will pay up to 24 more per flight than those in economy.” (from BBC News)

The fuel surcharge increase (about $47.27 USD) marks the first time British Airways has initiated class-dependent fee levels. British Airways execs (and many travelers) see the move as “appropriate,” noting that first class and business class travelers already enjoy added space, comfort, and baggage allowances. Of course, there are first class and business class travelers that feel as though those additional perks are covered in the cost of the airline ticket.

So, should first class and business class travelers take on additional charges to help offset rising fuel costs? Let us know what you think.

OpenSkies, a subsidiary of British Airways is set to fly next week (June 19th), and the carrier is dedicated to creating a “complete travel experience” for its passengers. OpenSkies offers seats in business class (biz), premium economy (prem +), and economy, but there are only 82 seats onboard, so everyone will have ample legroom and comfort.

While business class-only airlines have not faired well of late, OpenSkies is a different animal. With its link to British Airways and its range of options, it may be able to avoid the pitfalls that carriers like eos, Silverjet, and Maxjet fell into.

You can currently book flights between New York and Paris, but OpenSkies has plans to expand to other EU markets. Keep reading for a look at Open Skies’ cabins and what they’re fond of calling the “OpenSkies Difference.”
