British Airways Holidays offers up to 20,000
British Airways Holidays offers up to 20,000 bonus Avios on packages booked by September 1, 2026. The tiered bonus is in addition to existing earnings.
British Airways Holidays is offering bonus Avios for bookings made over the Bank Holiday weekend. Travelers can earn up to 20,000 extra Avios by registering and booking a package by Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
To qualify, customers must register via a specific page on ba.com before making a booking. The offer applies to both 'Flight + Hotel' and 'Flight + Car' holiday packages. The bonus is tiered based on the duration of the trip.
Bonus Avios Tiers
The amount of bonus Avios awarded depends on the length of the holiday package. The source provides the following breakdown:
| Holiday Package Duration | Bonus Avios Earned |
|---|---|
| 3 to 6 nights | 5,000 |
| 7 to 9 nights | 10,000 |
| 10 or more nights | 20,000 |
For 'Flight + Hotel' bookings, the duration is based on the number of hotel nights. For 'Flight + Car' bookings, it is based on the number of car rental days. The bonus Avios are credited after the holiday is completed. All travel must be finished by August 31, 2027.
The 'Triple Dip' and Card Benefits
This bonus is in addition to British Airways Holidays' standard rewards structure. The company states that British Airways Club members collect 1 bonus Avios for every £1 spent on packages. This creates a potential 'triple dip' of earnings.
A further benefit comes from using a specific credit card. If customers pay with a British Airways American Express Premium Plus Card, they earn double Avios from American Express, totaling 3 Avios per £1. However, this card benefit is only available on payments made by October 6, 2026.
After that date, double Avios will no longer be awarded for British Airways Holidays bookings. The standard free British Airways American Express Credit Card does not offer this benefit.
With the weekend promotion, this combination can become a 'quadruple dip,' adding the one-time bonus to the standard flight Avios, the package Avios, and the card Avios.
Payment Flexibility and Tier Points
Booking with British Airways Holidays also offers payment flexibility. Customers only need to pay a deposit at the time of booking. The report states the balance is not due until 5-7 weeks before departure. This can turn a typically non-refundable flight into a more flexible booking, as customers can choose not to make the final payment if plans change, forfeiting only the deposit.
Additionally, booking packages earns tier points in The British Airways Club at a more attractive rate than booking stand-alone flights. The exact details of tier point earnings were not repeated in the source, which directed readers to a separate article for full information.
The source advises travelers to weigh the benefit of paying in full before the card bonus ends on October 6 against the advantage of the flexible deposit scheme. Full details of the offer are available on ba.com, with the critical reminder that registration is required before any booking is made.
