Celebrate with 25% off reward flights
One year ago we introduced Avios to the Executive Club. To celebrate our first year, we’re having a fantastic 25% off reward flights sale. This offer is an all cabin sale on British Airways to Zone 4 and beyond. All you have to do is book a reward flight between 14 and 19 November 2012, for travel before 31 May 2013, and you’ll need 25% fewer Avios.
If you don’t have enough Avios to book a flight to a Zone 4 or beyond you can always purchase more. You can also get 25% off an Avios & Money booking. Plus, if you book a reward flight with our partner airline, Iberia, you’ll get 25% off reward flights as well. It’s a fantastic way for all our Club Members to celebrate this occasion in style. So book now.

Combine my Avios.
I wish the EC would 'celebrate one year of IB' too - I made a joker booking the other day for pure miles to the USA in Club. Cancelling and rebooking for 25K back would be lovely!

No availability for either of my flights it would seem - so that's that decision made for me

If this is an all-class promotion then I predict that one of the following will occur on or around 20th November, when it is over:
(i) general YQ reduction on longhaul
(ii) YQ reduction on longhaul rewards
(iii) introduction of reward flight saver on longhaul.
If it turns out to be an economy (maybe including WT+) only promotion then I predict that one of the above three options will be put into effect for the economy cabin(s)!
Presumably reward flight saver on shorthaul is a trial for a network wide rollout. And BA now have a year's data to decide whether or not the trial has been a success!...

The date of 14th is significant.
The BA sale finishes at midnight on the 13th.
In the past, they have increased reward availability at the end of a sale period by putting unsold sale seats (back) into reward buckets.

It appears that some other non-Premium activity will commence (officially) on the 14th.

I'd be mighty surprised if BA.com didn't mirror this offer.
I predict that when the luxury seat sale is over the offer will also appear on BA.com
I'm planning 2 x F trips with 241s for 2013.
Annoyingly one of them is planned to start on 01/06 although I could bring it back a day if it saves 25% Avios on the outbound at least, assuming "Travel by" means the trip must be completed before 31/05 as opposed to just the outbound.
