British Airways and partner American Airlines serves these destinations with flight connections in Chicago-O'Hare, Miami or London. Stopovers are not permitted.
Sale airfares are always subject to change.
Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate. Since only a limited supply of seats is available, act quickly to make your purchase.
I recommend starting the search for available seats at Kayak.com vs. calling an airline directly. You can also search for the sale at travel Web sites such as Expedia or Travelocity, etc.
