NEW YORK, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- British Airways marks 25 years of serving Texas with incredibly low fares to London and Europe. The airline, which operates 14 flights per week between Houston and London and seven flights per week between Dallas and London, is offering a $198 roundtrip fare to London for travel in November. Other bargain fares are available for travel from December through March.
As well, the airline is offering a bargain $298 roundtrip airfare for travel in November to three key European destinations: Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels as well as select cities within Britain. Low fares are also available to other European destinations including Barcelona, Frankfurt, Geneva, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Rome and Zurich.
The $198 roundtrip fare to London and the special $298 Europe fares will be on sale for three days only, Oct 29, 30 and 31, and are valid for outbound travel in November 2002.
Additional promotional fares will be on sale over the three day selling period from Oct 29-31. For travel from December 2002 through February 2003, travelers can take advantage of a special $238 roundtrip and for travel in March 2003, travelers can purchase a $258 roundtrip to the UK. Travel to Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels from December through March will be an additional $100 above the UK fares.
British Airways passengers will also be able to book discount hotel rooms through British Airways Holidays.

Huh? I don't see that anywhere. The $198 fare out of DEN and DFW appear to be booked in N COS. I just check with Executive Club and was advised that only L,O, and Q don't earn miles.

OK, gotcha, hauteboy.
There are very bizarre tariff changes going on with BA fares this morning.
Apparently, res changes to some of these new low fares can be made without a fee!
This appears to apply to many of the new fares - but apppears to have just changed as it relates to the $198... $198 no longer changeable... but will it stick?
