BA holidays

Has anyone booked with BA holidays (hotel and flight) I've had some quotes from them and it's so much cheaper than TUI, Virgin etc for the same time. Just wondering why? Thanks.

I have a couple of times, would do so again as it was cheaper than elsewhere.

We use them all the time as the offer the most flights from Heathrow. The only thing you need to consider is you are booking a flight and hotel with BA, not a package therefore need to arrange transfers.

It's New York so we can easily get our own transfer. I just can't see why it's so much cheaper. Thanks.

I've done a couple (a city break, and 10 days in the Caribbean) and they've been great value. As a PP says, you need to arrange your own transfers though.

And DH is taking 2 DSSs to Vegas next year with them as well - he got a great price on that in their sale.

Sometimes if you add car hire it brings the price right down too.

And it may include a checked bag.

I'm wondering if they also have an end of summer sale?

Yeah, their prices are great. They are a huge company so presumably can negotiate good hotel rates. They normally have a September sale which starts back end of august then a new year sale which starts before Christmas. I booked New York just before Christmas for this October.

A flight and a hotel is a package in terms of protection. They also sell transfers to add on although I normally just grab a cab. They do tickets to attractions and stuff too, it’s pick and mix.

I used them recently for a flight and hotel package and we were able to include private transfers as part of the booking.
