Great deal!! don't see USA in the 'to' area though (although the ad mentions it). It;s just UK ports. Typing in NY or something gives price ~INR 25K

Has anyone had success with this deal? Any dates that work? I can't find a combination to work.

Perhaps I'm confused. I don't see how this actually works. I can't even find the US as an travel option, let alone 22 cities. Plus the deal seems to be for round trips starting in India - not the other way around.

It works. I just found a RT from Hyderabad to Newark for 99OIR. Of course, after taxes it was 47000 or so IR. But for $500 RT that's pretty good.

... so it only works if you start and end in India?

Are you trying from http://www.britishairways.com/travel/home/public/en_in? You need to pick the starting city from the list; for the destination, you should just enter the airport code (no need to select from list). The trip has to start from HYD for the lower fares.

A couple days ago, I had found an itinerary from HYD to BOS with travel dates on Dec/16 and Jan/20. Total was INR 24,368 (approx. $490). I took a screen shot, but I can't seem to attach a picture on this forum.

I'm slow sometimes, but I get it now. I was hoping to find something to allow me to travel TO India, not FROM India...

did it include taxes?

with most of these travel deals...the fares are cheaper but the taxes are very high. when i tried getting a quote today on BA's site, the roundtrip fare was INR5995, but the taxes were around INR35000.

Yes -- it included all the taxes (for a total of INR 24,368).

Is there anyway to have this from the US to HYD?

Anyone find out a way, maybe using one-ways or any... method?

Tried couple of dates from Hyd to JFK and EWR. It shows that i can get prices from 5995 + 5995 INR + Taxes. But after selecting both trips, the screen showing because of system problems they cant proceed with my request.

I don't know how many of you read the article, but it clearly says "Hyderabad to UK". Towards the end of the article, they even mention London. However, in one of the sentences, they say "to 22 North American destinations" which I guess must be throwing everyone off (or maybe I am wrong).

However, it would be nice if it were from North America to Hyderabad ... I would love to go

Tried for my parents(2) from Hyderabad to Chicago : 23rd Dec 2008 to 12th June 2009 and it's showing as RS 1,36,000. (approx 3300 $)

The banner in the middle of the page at http://www.britishairways.com/travel/home/public/en_in clearly says HYD to UK for INR 90; HYD to North America for INR 990 (each way, excluding taxes).

Seems like very few dates are currently available with the sale fare -- the best I could find for today was just over $800 between HYD and atlanta (including all taxes).

I assume that's for two tickets. Try other sites like mobissimo or kayak -- you may get it for cheaper than $1600/person (but maybe not the $500 fare).

I got a BA quote (Jan-Feb) through my travel agent from Washington DC to Hyderabad for $ 1280. if I could get the deal that was discussed here, I may save a lot. But for any dates from DC to Hyd, BA direct quote is showing more than $ 1400 all the time. Can I get a better quote than 1280 on any airline ?
