British Airways has launched a new Luxury Sale with a focus on BA Holidays. 

There are also flight-only deals available in Club Europe, Club World and First Class. I’m particularly impressed by some of the Club Europe pricing which offers a great way to pick up some cheap Tier Points.


BA Holiday offers

There are numerous good BA Holiday deals available. You can find them on this page of the BA website.

Here are various examples of the Flight + Hotel options:

New York
Four nights at the 4* DoubleTree by Hilton, from £1399 per person, travelling between January 3 – January 31 inclusive. Includes Club World return flights from London Heathrow.

Las Vegas
Seven nights at the 4* Luxor, from £1699 per person, travelling between January 3 – January 31 inclusive. Includes Club World return flights from London Gatwick.

Tenerife
Seven nights at the 4* Santa Barbara Golf & Ocean Golf Club Diamond Res- TENERIFE, from £539 per person, travelling between June 1 – June 24 inclusive. Includes Club Europe return flights from London Gatwick.

Los Angeles
Five nights at the 4* Knotts Berry Farm Hotel, from £1699 per person, travelling between January 3 – January 31 inclusive. Includes Club World return flights from London Heathrow.

Venice
Three nights at the 4* Hotel Admiral, from £299 per person, travelling between May 1 – May 27 inclusive. Includes Club Europe return flights from London Gatwick.

Cape Town
Seven nights at the 5* Hilton Cape Town City Center, from £2489 per person, travelling between May 6 – May 29 inclusive. Includes Club World return flights from London Heathrow.

Remember, the benefits of BA Holiday deals are two-fold. Firstly, this can be a good way to pick up an excellent deal on your flights and hotels that would have been far more expensive to book separately.

Secondly, BA Holidays only require full payment 5 weeks before your flight, with just a small deposit required at the time of booking.

You can find more Flight + Hotel options on the BA Luxury Sale page

How to book

Head over to the Luxury Sale page on ba.com to view all of the available deals.

Alternatively, the easiest place to start is probably the Low Fare Finder tool on ba.com. This allows you to easily view the cheapest fares across a number of months in different cabins.

You can find full T&Cs and details of any advance purchase requirements at the bottom of this page.

Bear in mind though that these prices are only updated every 24 hours, therefore the price you see on Low Fare Finder Tool may not fully reflect availability or price shifts. 

Book by 19th March 2019


Verdict

£1300-£1500 for direct Club World flights to many North American cities is a strong deal. While £1800 for First Class to Mexico City looks like the pick of the bunch as far as First Class deals are concerned.

The BA Holiday offers are well worth a quick look in general with various cheap Flight + Hotel options available – as well as the added benefit of only requiring a deposit now.

I also want to highlight the Club Europe offers. There are 15+ destinations available at under £200 return which should make for a very nice weekend away somewhere. Faro, Venice and Nice are particularly tempting at those prices!

If you’re short on tier points, snapping up Malta for £240 and 160 Tier Points is an excellent deal.

What’s caught your eye in the BA sale?
