BA Holidays

Has anyone booked with BA holidays (hotel and flight)?
I've been looking at quotes from them and it's so much cheaper than TUI, Virgin etc for the same time, hotel, flights (TUI use BA flights).
What are people’s recent experiences booking through them?
Thanks

I've had 5 or 6 , last one was Dubrovnik in March.
All have been vey good. I'd certainly recommend them.
Flight times tend to be better than other package companies, & luggage is always included - worth doing the sums.
BA offer airport transfers, but we book separately as it's usually cheaper.

They are fine, we’ve used them a lot. Probably won’t going forward due to the shit show of the new tier points system but if that’s not a concern then there’s nothing wrong with them. If you book a transfer and flight times move make sure you ignore BAs assurance that they will sort and ring them yourselves too.

Be careful that you are comparing like for like, as when I was searching on the BA site I put in for all inclusive, but the costs on the results weren't actually for AI so looked a lot cheaper. It wasn't until I clicked through to make a booking that it became apparent that you had to then select the board basis later, which then put the price up.

Yes we have several times as they are cheaper usually. I always check against TUI/Jet2 like for like and they have been a grand cheaper sometimes. And as pp says generally better flight times.

I’ve only used them for city breaks and found them great value and decent flight times that don’t change! Not sure AI resorts is their thing but cannot see why you would not use them.

We’ve booked with them several times and they’ve been fine. I like that the flight times are sensible and luggage is included, plus they seat children with an adult for free (you don’t have to pay extra to sit by your own child!). We book a specific hotel with them and their package on the half board option is miles cheaper than booking direct. Plus, we’ve on occasions booked a hire car as part of the package too, but sometimes that doesn’t work out cheaper.

Yes, for city breaks. Really good value - essentially got the hotel for free as the flights alone were ££££

Yep always found them good, never any issues and definitely good value for money on the trips I’ve done.
