BA sale Part 2: Good First and Club World flight and BA Holidays deals from £1,200

British Airways Holidays has launched a new round of First Class and Club World flight and holiday bargains.

Click here to take a look at some of the deals available with Club World flights.

Some of the headline prices look good.  These are the ‘lead in’ flight and hotel offers based on Club World flights:

New York – £1,406 including three nights in a 4* hotel

Toronto – £1,204 including three nights in a 4* hotel

Los Angeles – £1,693 including SIX nights in a 4* hotel

Boston – £1,340 including three nights in a 4* hotel

These prices are based on two people sharing.

Remember that with BA Holidays, you don’t even have to pay now.   You can pay a deposit and then settle the balance in the Autumn.  You also earn 2 Avios per £1 for booking with BA Holidays on top of the Avios you will earn from the flights and from your credit card.

(One minor downside is that BA Holidays packages do not earn On Business points in BA’s small business loyalty scheme for the flights.)

There are also some impressive Club World flight deals available, for booking by 12th July.  Seats are bookable into May 2017 in most cases:

New York – £1,308 return

Atlanta – £1,356 return

Chicago – £1,260 return

Montreal – £1,155 return

Toronto – £1,128 return

Seattle – £1,176 return

Dubai – £1,360 return

Abu Dhabi – £1,245 return

Las Vegas – £1,376 return

San Francisco – £1,581 return

Other destinations are available too, but the deals are less compelling outside the Middle East and North America.

You should take a look at First Class pricing as well.  It is often available for just £400 return extra on the Middle East routes.  

£1,645 First Class to Abu Dhabi, for example, is fantastic – especially as you will be in the very small F cabin on a Boeing 787-9.

If you are based outside London, it is also worth comparing BA prices starting in Dublin or Amsterdam.  You may be able to make even bigger savings.  There are also some very good deals out of Paris to New York at the moment on BA and its sister airline – which flies direct – Open Skies.

The BA Holidays Club World sale page is here.

To find out which months have the cheapest fares, you might want to start your search with the British Airways Low Fare Finder tool which is here.  That £1,176 deal to Seattle is only available for December and January, for example, when you may find it a little nippy.
