When you hear the name British Airways, do you immediately think of London? I do. British Airways actually flies to more than 300 destinations, which makes their new free companion ticket deal a much more interesting prospect. Even better, you and your companion can travel in any cabin. How do you get a free ticket for a friend?
1. Become an Executive Club member and register for the deal
2. Take a round-trip flight on or before Jan. 29, 2010 and you’ll get a free companion ticket.
3. Book another ticket and your companion’s ticket from Jan. 4 through July 30, 2010 and travel from Jan. 11 through Dec. 15, 2010.
Note: The companion ticket will still be subject to taxes and fees for the travel.
Where can you go? British Airways has a holidays and destination guide to help with your planning. It could be said that it’s going to depend on who you take with you. But browse their sections on romantic, golfing, luxury, city breaks, beaches, spas and other destinations.
Caveat: Just make sure you’re up on British Airways’ policies for choosing your seat and baggage allowance. Between the two there are additional fees to consider.

That’s not a bad deal, but taxes can still add up to hundreds of dollars.

From the US to Heathrow, for example, taxes are about $175. So, that’d be the only cost for your companion.
After paying for the two flights necessary to make this deal possible, you’d be quickly on your way to racking up miles in their Executive Club, too.
