British Airways Holidays has discounted holidays and city breaks

As a reminder, here are some example holiday packages which are available in the sale.

How to book

You can book these fares and holiday packages on the BA website here.

To maximise your miles when paying, your best bet is the British Airways American Express Premium Plus card which earns double Avios (3 per £1) when you book at ba.com or via BA Holidays.  You do not get double Avios if you book with the free British Airways American Express card.
