British Airways offers a helping hand to stranded Excel customers

[Jim Mason]

Following Excel's announcement that they have suspended operations, British
Airways is offering a special one-way fare for customers who have been
stranded.

The fare is available to those customers mid-way through their travel plans
who are booked to travel from September 12, 2008 either to the UK or
Florida, the Caribbean, Israel, Egypt and all European destinations.

BA will also give a discount from its current World Offer fares to those
longhaul passengers booked on Excel but yet to travel.

A special fare is now available for those longhaul Excel customers who have
not yet commenced any part of their itinerary and were due to travel over
the coming months. We are offering a direct only special offer on Florida,
the Caribbean, Israel and Egypt.

To take advantage of either the special one-way fare or the discounted
longhaul World Offer fare, customers must have proof of purchase with
Excel.

Stranded customers can book with British Airways directly by calling 0844
493 0 787.

British Airways flights to these destinations are busy but the airline will
do all it can to repatriate as many of Excel's customers as possible.

Ends
