British Airways extends Children-fly-for-free holiday offer

Families can now book their tickets for outbound travel until 31 August 2006; and for every two adult tickets purchased, up to two children under the age of twelve can travel free.

From Abu Dhabi the offer is available to customers travelling in World Traveller Plus (premier economy) and World Traveller cabins (economy). From Dubai this offer is available in World Traveller Plus cabin.

Commenting on the extension of the offer Terry Parry, British Airways Business Development Manager for the UAE said,

"We are aware that our customers' travel patterns and plans continue to change as many families are beginning to stay in the UAE for a lot longer before departing in July or August. Families can use the money saved on air tickets to enjoy more holiday activities like shopping and entertainment."

Children love the idea of summer holidays but usually hate getting there; in order to change that British Airways offers children a more enjoyable travel experience with more in-flight entertainment and Skyflyers activity packs to keep them busy. Travellers can also pre-book their children's meals on ba.com with a specially designed children's menu offering nutritious and healthy snacks that children will enjoy.

British Airways offers daily flights from Abu Dhabi to London and twice daily from Dubai to London with over 50 connecting flights a week to 22 destinations in North America.
