Kids fly free returns 1 Jun - 31 Oct 2017 (NCL, INV, BHD, LBA, EDI, BLL)
 

Kids fly free (children aged 12 and under) is back from June to October

https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...Kidsflyforfree

Open for those aged over 18 who books a flight on the routes below for themselves and a maximum of 2 children aged 12 and under.

The price for the child is zero - not only is the fare component zero but the taxes, fees, and charges are zero too.

Covers LHR to:

• Leeds Bradford (LBA)
• Newcastle (NCL)
• Inverness (INV)
• Edinburgh (EDI)
• Belfast (BHD)
• Billund, Denmark (BLL)

Flights must be booked between 10 May 2017 and 1 October 2017, and travel must be taken between 1 June 2017 and 31 October 2017.

For flights in ET only.

Can be booked as one way or return. Not applicable where the routes above are booked as part of a connecting flight except for connecting flights to/from Billund (BLL) from/to Leeds Bradford (LBA), Newcastle (NCL), Inverness (INV), Edinburgh (EDI), and Belfast (BHD). However, it seems to work if doing a connection between any of the domestic routes listed, for example pricing BHD-LHR-LBA with one adult and one child gives a quote showing £0 for the child.

No minimum or maximum stay periods. Following blackout periods apply:

• Inverness (INV) route: 1 July – 5 September 2017 and 1 - 15 October 2017
• Edinburgh (EDI) route: 24 June -30 July 2017 and 13-23 October 2017

One free children’s meal with each main course purchased, valued at £9 or over. Maximum of four free children’s meals per party. Each child needs to be accompanied by an adult spending £9 each or more on a main meal. Valid for children 10 years and under. Not valid on takeaway.

We did this last year. The Avios and tier points for junior also posted despite there being no charge for the flight. Sadly my youngest son is now 12 so no more freebies!

According to the website, EDI is a "new route" - really? presumably for free flights...Spare us during July-August festival time - BA will need to dust off those 767 domestics...

This seems like a very sweet deal!
Basically you can fly from BHD to BLL and make it a Legoland weekend :-)
I hope this can be of any good use for some folks!

It actually says EDI is a new destination and this is clearly meant in terms of the 'kids fly free' promotion - the promotion has run in previous years but did not include EDI. BLL is similarly a new addition to 'kids fly free' promotion I believe.

The remaining 767s are around until the end of next year.

Any idea how I calculate the Avios and TPs for the kids on this deal? Thanks.

Click on the flight number when booking should show you selling class - I assume this is what you and the child get booked in to. You can use the calculator on ba.com to see how many TP and avios it should earn. It does seem that the child will earn normal avios and TP for this even though they travel free.

To reiterate previous points, the TPs and avios do post for the child as well. (Or at least they did for me last time.) Now I wonder if your child was an infant you would also get a seat for them and the TPs/Avios. Pity it wasn't in CE as that would be a real bonus.

BLL is a wonderful addition to this initiative. I took my eldest to Legoland three years ago (RFS on the LCY-BLL route) and it was great fun.

Great. London based passengers getting another advantage over us who live in the regions. Well done BA!

How so? It applies in both directions of each route.

So I can get free ABZ - LHR to one of those cities? Nah, didn't think so!

Yay, more kids and more FT threads about kids!

On topic - this is nice promotion actually.

ABZ isn't on the list, and neither is MAN or GLA. As well as not being of use to you starting in ABZ and wanting to head south, it is also of no use to folks in London who want to travel north to ABZ/MAN/GLA.

Great deal for those in LHR then......not us in the other out stations...... :rolleyes:
