I’m not sure BA holidays presents exceptional value compared with booking separately and getting, for example, $100 through Emyr or Amex FHR. But I’m not an expert and haven’t thoroughly analysed this.

Before booking a BA Holiday I check the holiday price and then the cost of the separate elements.

I booked some BA hols trips to Berlin. In every case the BA Hols price was cheaper than the separate elements. On one of them (I still have my notes) the hotel cost was significantly more than the combined price. The Holiday price also included breakfast. the separate booking didn’t.

But when it comes to my Amsterdam trips BA Hols has never been cheaper than booking the flight and my chosen hotel separatly.

I’m not sure your comment re Emyr bookings is valid though as his bookings are priced in the higher Flexible booking rates whereas a BA holiday is going to be in a much cheaper rate.

People need to do the research first to see if a BA Hol is the best value or not (and in that ‘value’ I include the ability to pay a deposit)
