Is there any expectation of when we will have the dates for next year ?
Apologies if already asked.It’s been any time between April and June in previous years, which is very frustrating as BA obviously knows the dates well before! Someone did post recently that an agent told them on the phone which dates were peak/off time for the time they were planning to book.
Failing that, the only period where it can change significantly from one year to the next is Easter as the school holidays tend to be all over the place, so you can get an idea from looking at last year’s chart.
January 1st – 6th
February 14th – 17th and 21st – 24th
March no peak days
April 4th – 22nd
May 3rd – 5th and 24th – 31st
June every Sat & Sun are peak
July all peak after 3rd except 8th, 15th, 22nd & 29th
August all days except 5th, 12th, 19th & 26th
September all Sat & Sun
October 24th – 31st
November 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 22nd & 30th
December all after 13th except 18thI just called and got BA to list them all
Thanks, this is very helpful.
And also bad news.. Every Sat and Sun in September? Pffff
@Ikc1977 – That’s really helpful, thanks!
I suspect they might have missed a few, though, as generally Tuesdays are off-peak, and also odd days like Boxing Day!

So same as 2023 and 2024 then.
Off topic but does booking in peak times increase the amount of avios needed for reward flights?
I’m looking to book LHR –> HND end of March next year returning mid April. I currently have enough avios to do this but unable to book my return flight just yet due to T-355.
TIA

It does. Extra 10k each way in Business for HND.

Not to be pedantic but if there wasnt then there would not be no need for off peak and peak pricing. And as stated, yep 10k which is quite good as IB Avios goes up substantially.
Have peak dates ever varied by destination (before)? I thought it was the same across all routes but 13th and 14th Dec 2025 comes up on ba.com as peak for LHR-CDG but off peak for LHR-JFK (to give one example).

Hmmm…. LHR-JFK says (incorrectly) off peak on the 13th and 14th but *prices* (correctly) as peak. Just another BA IT bug then. At least they make up for these common shambles by maintaining a great loyalty programme. Oh wait.
December all after 13th except 18th
In addition to those, Dec 15-17 are also off peak based on a manual ba.com check of avios cost for LHR-CDG.
