At this time of year many people are thinking about traveling to see loved ones.  Until November 19th British Airways is having a November Flight Sale sale for travelers departing from the U.S. and Canada for the travel dates of November 17, 2009 – March 28, 2010 (with some exceptions).  I checked out the prices, and while I’m not a big traveler, it seems like $596 round-trip from Calgary (our closest point of departure) to London is a decent price; particularly when British Airways upgraded experience is taken into account.  BA doesn’t only travel to Britain though, you can also hop one of their planes to he Middle East, India and Africa.

Of all the destinations they have on sale, our family would be most eager to travel to London, England.  We have a family-oriented travelogue that my oldest daughter LOVES.  She’d like to go see the Cabinet War Rooms, the war-ship, and Big Ben – I would like to take a day trip to Bath!  My husband would like to scope out the English landscape where James Herriot lived.

I’ve never traveled with British Airways, but their level of service sounds exceptional. They keep you supplied with food and beverages, seats with built in lumbar-supports, and they even have flight socks! Okay – I have no idea what flight socks are, but don’t they sound cool?  Sounds like a luxurious experience.
