For those curious, the longest British 35K flight is London Heathrow to Hong Kong, at 12:30. Sign me up! This flight is the 2nd longest British 35K flight in the world, ranging between 11:30 and 12:15 of flight time. São Paulo is a great city for foodies and is a wonderful spot for Fifth Freedom routes. The flights onward from Accra were not appealing and I was recently in Hong Kong. As of April 2023, British Airways flies the 35K with updated Club Suites on these routes:īased on these routes, I quickly settled on São Paulo. The problem is that British has very few of these airplanes and they are not available on many routes. These seats are more modern and are 1-2-1 reverse herringbone suites with doors. Luckily, British offers updated Club World business Club Suites on its Airbus 350-10 (35K) airplanes. Not really appealing in today's world of suites, suites with doors, etc. While I love a double-decker airplane, BA has the old Club World seats in a 2-3-2 configuration. Yay! But what else? The Dulles (IAD) to London Heathrow route is operated by an Airbus 380. As expected, I booked my trip with AsiaMiles for a fraction of what British Airways cost! Here is what my flights would have cost booking them directly with British Airways and their Avios program: AsiaMiles redemptions are based on zones, rather than mileage flown, and the taxes and fees are usually cheaper. In fact, booking the (off-peak) trip I planned via British costs 125,000 points and $750+ in taxes. I can travel domestically anytime, right? This is a once-in-a-lifetime trip, so international it is! Anyone that has looked at a British flight, or an award flight through London Heathrow (LHR), knows that fuel surcharges (YQ) can quickly torpedo the value of an award booking. I quickly settled on British Airways for an international trip. area, AsiaMiles usually means flying British Airways or American Airlines, since all are part of OneWorld.
