@JDB this is exactly my point. Looks like a duck, walks like a duck, etc… but is it? Were it not for the fact that I was expected to pay the full amount in advance then I wouldn’t even question whether this is a BAH or not. The flight and hotel were selected as part of the same transaction and paid for under one locator code with the flights and hotel showing together under MMB and with vouchers for the hotel and flights. There is also an ATOL number and the card transaction shows as BA Holidays. So I cannot believe that any sane soul would ever consider this to be anything other than a BA Holiday. Until, enter stage left, BA, which may have an entirely different (and so far undisclosed) definition of exactly what a holiday looks like for the purposes of earning TPs on the entire spend, gross of taxes.
