Anyone have any idea what the peak dates for redemptions will be for 2026? Particularly around March/April time. I know Easter is beginning of April next year, so expecting second half of march to be blocked out?
Cheers
I think BA has stopped releasing the calendar, but you can use previous ones and adjust them for school holiday dates. The main Easter school holidays will be the 2 weeks from March 28th next year, however you can add a week before and possibly a few days after this, as some schools now have a fixed holiday of the first fortnight in April. Private schools tend to have 3 weeks off as well.
Tuesdays and some Wednesdays tend to be off-peak, even at peak times, which is obviously a bonus if you have some flexibility with travel dates.
I did note that last year Xmas day was off-peak, whereas in previous years it was Boxing Day, not sure if this was a deliberate change by BA.
Send them a message on X and they should be able to list the dates for you. Here are the peak dates they listed for Feb and March:
13th, 14th, 15th, 20th, 21st and 22nd February 2026
27th, 28th, 29th and 30th March 2026All other dates in those months will be off-peak.
For anyone interested, got the peak dates off of BA on X.
27th, 28th, 29th, 30th March 2026
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th April 2026
