Question
I would be grateful for any details regarding any BA companion fares that you know of to go to Mauritius 25th May returning 2nd June.
Many thanks
HI BEN:
The only BA free companion program I am aware of, and which DOES cover your travel dates, is found at:
https://www.britishairways.com/travel/offerusvisa2for1/execclub/_gf/en_us
Here is our five page article on FREE Global travel. Unfortunately, most of the 'deals' are available to U.S. Citizens. Note our section on British Airways. Several weeks ago we EACH received solicitations for BA's credit cards, both personal and business. Amazingly all fees are waived the first year and each card offers, on the first used, 20,000 miles so that we each obtained 40,000 miles absoolutely FREE. Takes 50,000 miles for a Return ticket London-Mauritius. With those and other deals we have amassed over 300,000 miles for trips just like the one you plan to take.
These promostional mailers are NOT generally offered to the public but rather to BA Executive Club members. The latter is their frequent flyer program and of course no charge to join the Executive Club.
Our FREE TRAVEL article is found at:
www.cheapskatetravel.blogspot.com
SHould also note that such 50,000 miles awards usually permit a second stop ie. London-Mauritius-Paris/Athens-London
Sorry I have no more specific info on your quest and that some of the above is helpful.
HAPPY TRAVELS! Steve T.

FREE GLOBAL & DOMESTIC TRAVEL which always beats discount travel. In recent years we have enjoyed free travel to such destinations as Africa, Israel, Australia, Brazil, France, New Zealand, Hawaii, England, Greece, Alaska and our lower 48. Other budget travel areas include such as air brokers, rebate travel agencies, renting a Paris/Barcelona apartments for as little as $65/night (depending on length of stay and size of apt.), sightseeing and general TIPS on travel related comfort, safey/convenience and day to day SAVINGS. Since we travel Free 95% of the time I DO NOT OFFER ADVICE ON CHEAPEST, LOWEST PRICED AND/OR LAST MINUTE AIRLINE FARES. Such deals are best found by diligent Google research & reading the N.Y. and/or L.A. Sunday best in the U.S. Travel sections. FREE airline deals may NOT be available to non-U.S. residents.
