British Airways are making 4,000 free return flights available for successful TAP applicants who are new to TAP i.e. have had no previous TAP grants at any time back to 1 April 2006. All the seats available will be Club World or Club Europe (i.e. business class) and are available on BA routes only. The flights will originate at Heathrow or Gatwick with complimentary domestic add-ons available from BA’s UK regional airports if necessary.
In order that the BA offer does not infringe European state aid rules BA will ask recipients to pay taxes and charges (this should be no more than £150 for a flight to Australia and significantly less for shorter destinations).
Free seats may not be available on all flights.
