British Airways Executive Club members can take along a friend for free next year. Register and fly in any cabin through Dec. 31, 2008 and receive a complimentary companion ticket valid for a flight in 2009. The offer is open to residents of the U.S. or Canada only and members must book a roundtrip ticket from the U.S. or Canada in qualifying fare classes, including World Traveller fares (H, B or Y class), World Traveller Plus (W, E or T class), Club World (J, C, D, R or I class) and first (F or A class). Qualifying travel must be completed by Dec. 31, 2008 and the offer is only available on British Airways flights; flights on codeshare partners are not valid.

The companion is responsible for all surcharges, government fees and taxes on the complimentary ticket. Member and companion must book between Jan. 5 and June 30, 2009 and travel roundtrip on the same flight between Jan. 15 and Dec. 15, 2009. Executive Club members can earn multiple companion tickets, but can only fly with one person on a companion ticket at a time.
