In order to woo back nervous travelers concerned about Arab terrorism, Soviet radioactive fallout and the declining U.S. dollar, airlines were engaging in extraordinary gimmicks and severely cutting their prices and profit margins. In the forefront of the European scramble to recover American business is British Airways. BA has waged a $6 million promotion campaign called ''Go for it, America'' to win back U.S. travelers.
