Interested in travel to India? We’ve uncovered some great First Class ‘tactical’ fares on British Airways.
Tactical fares are significantly discounted fares that airlines offer sporadically for a variety of reasons, usually because their sophisticated algorithms tell them that seats won’t sell—so they lower the price.
This diverse group includes holiday tactical fares (Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and New Year’s), origin-specific tactical fares, destination-specific tactical fares, and advance-purchase tactical fares, to name a few.
Now FCF is seeing tactical First Class fares for travel to India on British Airways.
NEW FIRST CLASS FAREs, TREND?
We’ve seen some big-time savings on certain routes from the U.S. to India. First Class fares have historically been in the $6,000 to $8,000 range on British Airways, and on other major carriers, such as Emirates, SWISS or Lufthansa, they can even range from $11,000 to $15,000. But on the routes we’ll cover here, prices have dropped to $4,240.
