Become a shareholder of BA and and get discounts on those cheap travel deals Europe?

Fancy those cheap travel deals Europe or cheapest air travel Europe? Or going for those cheap tickets to london London? And yet one to become a shareholder of the airline at the same time?

Well, if you like British Airways (BA), this is perhaps the only airline in the world which gives you a discount on their flights if you are a shareholder of the company.

It won’t give you those cheapest cheap travel deals Europe or cheapest air travel Europe or those cheapest cheap tickets to london London (which is the base of UK-based BA) but hey, what the heck if you like them both as an airline and as a stock, right?

Under this privilege, shareholders who hold a minimum of 200 shares in BA or more on a record date in early November each year are entitled to a Shareholder Discount Coupon.

This coupon entitles the shareholder and up to five travel companions to a 10% discount on BA flights.

Its not exactly as we say the cheapest cheap travel deals Europe or cheapest air travel Europe or those cheapest cheap tickets to london London but its nonetheless a good 10% discount over the published price of those BA fares. 

According to BA website, the coupons are sent automatically to those shareholders who hold their shares on the Register, for those holding their shares through a PEP, ISA or in nominee account (other than BAIS) the coupon has to be applied for by your Plan Manager e-mailing company.secretary@britishairways.com, providing the shareholders details.

The shares are listed on the FTSE 100 and if you have to be eligible to get the discount, you may have to pay around 700 pounds based on the current share price of 3.50 pound/share.

While not giving you those cheapest cheap travel deals Europe or cheapest air travel Europe or those cheapest cheap tickets to london London (if you are flying around Europe or to UK), its still good to use the discount on a premium first or business class, which in the long run, could accumulate to some pretty good savings.
