£50 off BA Club Europe holiday bookings, book by Monday

A quick heads up that British Airways is running a special promotion on short-breaks in Europe at the moment.

When you book a Club Europe break, which means booking both the flight and hotel via British Airways, you can save up to £50.

Full details can be found at ba.com here.

If you are planning a trip to Europe but do not need a hotel, it is still worth comparing prices.  You may find that you can book the grottiest, cheapest hotel British Airways offers and still come out ahead compared to booking the flights on their own.

If you are booking well in advance, you also get the benefit of being to pay just a £150 deposit now, with the balance not due until 10 weeks before travel.  You don’t get that benefit with normal flight bookings.

(I think BA Holidays also accept 3V cards, and they are definitely happy for you to pay off the balance in numerous small instalments!)

The offer closes on Monday.
