The advantages of a British Airways Holiday
Booking a British Airways Holiday has several advantages over booking a flight only.
- You only need to pay a small deposit when you book until 4-7 weeks before departure. This lessens your risk if, for some reason, you could not go. The balance is due four weeks before departure for short haul bookings and seven weeks before departure for all other holiday bookings except some European ski holidays. Your booking will show when it’s due.
- You earn extra Avios on top of the usual flight Avios. You earn 1 Avios for every £1 that you spend on your booking.
- There is a promotion to get double-tier points on BA Holidays of 5 nights or more before 31 December 2024. You can find the details of this offer here.
Here are examples of the deposit that you will need to pay:
- Flight + hotel and flight + car holidays between £300-£999: Just pay £120 deposit per booking
- Flight + hotel and flight + car holidays between £1,000-£2,999: Just pay from £150 deposit per booking
- Flight + hotel and flight + car holidays between £3,000-£3,499: Just pay from £200 deposit per booking
- Flight + hotel and flight + car holidays over £3,500: Your deposit amount will be displayed during the booking process
British Airways also recently introduced the option to use Avios to part pay for BA Holidays.
One of the easiest ways to search for your ideal holiday is to use their Holiday Finder page.

Had a 7 day holiday to Dubai planned for December 2023 but waiting for the sale to start before going ahead. Priced it up 8 days ago(screenshot kept) and now it’s £750 more expensive (in the so called sale). Annoying.
That’s very annoying. Could be that the cheaper fare bucket has sold out possibly. It’s always a complete gamble unfortunately with the sale nowadays. Have you tried looking to travel a day either side in case that helps?
I’d love for BA holidays to stop charging a lot more for solo travellers. One trip I was looking at yesterday added ~£500 to the cost. There’s just no need for it anymore, especially when if booking separately hotels don’t increase the price
I know what you mean but the reason they do it is that the cost of the room is divided between two people so as a single traveller you are covering the whole cost of the room instead of half, so I don’t think they are being unduly unfair although of course it does depend on what the room costs.
Never experienced BA Holidays. Hoping to take this opportunity to book something exciting. Hope BA doesn’t disappoint.
Seems impossible to take advantage of the Orlando offer for December 2024 travel as booking won’t open until late December 2023, when the offer will have ended 🙁
They do sometimes open booking earlier for holidays but I’ll see if I can find out.
