I have to disagree: employees of the media dept. are well aware of fares available! And 'know nothing' is not an excuse. It was confirmed by BA that this was a really good deal - whether the person pushing the post button was right or authorised to do so is BAs internal affair. For me it's a public confirmation and this was a once of SALE deal!!!
Look, the guy did not even realise that the screenshot was not even of the BA website.
If you have one (or several) of these tickets, then the e-ticket that was issued and the confirmation you received still carry a lot more weight than this random, off-the-cuff, tweet. Whether or not all tickets will be honoured has yet to be decided - and it is not the Twitter team that will decide it.

By definition, the "media dept." handles communication - not fares.

In the end, everything* was cancelled.
Don't delude yourself - some college student working for the summer on the Twitter team is not going to have the final say on whether your ticket stays valid. And that tweet clearly cannot be taken as confirmation of anything to do with any individual tickets (it just says "there are good deals on the website". That can merely be interpreted as saying that there is a sale on - which there is. The screenshot was not of a purchased ticket; it was not even of the BA website. The reply refers neither to the screenshot, the AA website, or the quoted fare/routing).
*there may be a few under the radar.

EU ID card is enough to travel in the EU even not shengen but for the OP I'm afraid he will not be able to board if he have bags check-in without valid passport doesn't matter that he fly in EU if the last destination is outside Europe .

Passport is still not needed to some places. For example, I can fly to UK (which is outside schengen) with my Dutch ID.
the entire list is here

(surprised to see, even macedonia and turkey are in the list)
