Hello
I have a 4 night holiday with hotel for lon-nyc and would like to add either a car rental or hotel in London for 1 night before or when I return to quality for the double TPs whichever is most cost effective. is this something that I can do ? As I can’t see any option for this in manage my booking ?
Thank you
Don’t believe you can do that –
1. Hotels/car must be within the flight dates, not the night before/after etc
2. You can’t add a car after the event.
See this excerpt from the T&C’s
The hotel and/or car element of the package must be for a minimum of five nights within the flight travel dates for travel before 30 June 2025. The hotel/car element of the package must be used i.e. the hotel occupied and/or car rental hired for the full booked duration. The total trip length (time between first flight departing the UK and final flight returning to the UK) cannot exceed 30 days. Bookings can only contain one flight departing the UK, multiple journeys from the UK within one booking will not qualify for the double TP promotion.
This promotion does not apply to any British Airways flight only bookings made without a hotel or car or where the hotel or car is added to a booking in a separate transaction.
Too late I’m afraid, it all has to be booked at the same time.

You can’t make any changes of this nature to a BA holiday booking in MMB.
It requires a call to BA Hols.
To make your trip double TP eligible you need to have 5 nights of hotel or car within the flight dates.
BA Hols can price this up for you but it won’t necessarily be cheap. You can get an idea by doing a dummy booking and seeing what the price difference is.
One solution here would be to decide you want to book a hotel for your last day in NYC – it’s not an entirely outrageous proposition. I have seen reports on here that it works to hit the 5 night target. What’s more, when I extended a car hire by a couple of days on a BA Holiday, even though the overall price fell, they counted it as an upgrade to the booking so they waived the change fee. Seemed generous but who was I to query this?
