Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
British Airways Holidays has launched a special Club World promotion for travel over the Summer, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year on core routes to the US and Middle East.
There are some decent prices here but you need to book by Monday. The prices are not as good as we saw last year but that is a moot point – they remain good value for what you get.
Click here to take a look at some of the deals available with Club World flights.
These are the ‘lead in’ flight and hotel offers based on Club World flights:
New York – £1,299 over Christmas including three nights in a 4* hotel
Boston – £1,499 over Christmas including three nights in a 4* hotel
Abu Dhabi – £1,199 over May – September including three nights in a 4* hotel
These prices are based on two people sharing.
Other routes included are Muscat, Dubai, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Las Vegas, Calgary, Los Angeles and Oakland.
The travel dates included are:
USA / Calgary – 1st July to 31st August, 21st to 28th November, 18th December to 2nd January
Middle East – 1st May to 30th September
A minimum three night stay is needed, with the exception of Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Oakland and Calgary which must include a Saturday night.
As usual with BA Holiday you don’t have to pay in full when booking. Apart from a small deposit, you only need to pay the balance five weeks before departure.
Remember that you also earn a bonus 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.
If you fancy a short break over the summer, Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year, these offers are worth considering. You would also receive 280 tier points which may be a helping hand towards your requalification or promotion for next year.
