British Airways offer MAXjet passengers a helping hand

British Airways is offering passengers of the bankrupt airline MAXjet a special New Year’s offer to help them have a happier start to 2008. The airline is offering customers of the US based airline booked to travel after December 24 the opportunity to book Club World (business class) return tickets from London Heathrow to New York for £1,000 and London Heathrow to Los Angeles for £1,250.

The tickets are available for sale until January 11, 2008, for travel throughout 2008.

Steve Cassidy, GM long-haul sales, said: “We understand that this may be an uncertain time for customers who were booked to travel with MAXjet. We are pleased to be able to offer them an alternative with British Airways."

He continued, “Our special New Year offer is available to any MAXjet customer who was due to travel after December 24, 2007.

“British Airways offers customers a truly upgraded experience with our award-winning new Club World cabin, a superior network and schedule and our frequent flyer programme, the Executive Club, which rewards our most regular customers when they fly.

“British Airways’ £100 million investment in its new Club World is available on most British Airways flights between London Heathrow and New York and all flights between London Heathrow and Los Angeles.”

The British Airways offer is available for sale up to and including midnight on January 11, 2008. Prices include all taxes, fees and charges.
