BA Holidays adds new deals on European Summer holidays

BA Holidays is taking Boris Johnson at his word (whatever happened to ‘data not dates’?!) and has launched a special deal for ‘flight and hotel’ bookings from 17th May.

This offer is valid for travel to Cyprus, Greece, Spain or Turkey.

You will save:

The offer is valid for travel from 17th May to 21st October. Bookings must be made by 9th March.

The other usual BA Holidays benefits apply:

• earn double Avios from Amex when you pay with a British Airways American Express Premium Plus card

• earn 1 Avios per £1 spent directly from BA Holidays (plus earn Avios on your flights as usual)

• secure your trip with a deposit now and pay the balance nearer the date of travel

• BA’s ‘Book With Confidence’ policy gives you flexibility if you voluntarily choose to delay your trip
