BRITISH Airways has launched a new sale on holiday packages in 2024 and 2025.

The discounts include up to £300 off, and they can be used on all holidays from European beach breaks to long-haul holidays in the US, Caribbean and Middle East.

How much you save will vary according to how much you’re spending, with the discounts going from £25 to £300 off.

These are the discounts available in the flash sale:

There is no need for a code either, as the discounts will apply automatically.

The sale is available on holidays departing by April 17, 2025, but you can only book until May 14.

All BA’s holiday packages include accommodation and roundtrip flights with a 23kg baggage allowance.

We’ve found the best discounts to be on all-inclusive packages, with many European holidays costing less than £500pp.

The deal includes your stay at Mitsis Family Village, where all your meals, snacks and drinks will be included.

Also costing from £469pp, you could book seven nights all-inclusive in Croatia, staying at Iberostar Herceg Novi.

Plus, starting this year, British Airways will be the only short-haul airline having a business class in London Stansted.

There will be business class (Club Europe) and economy class (Euro Traveller) cabins on every aircraft.

In the business class cabin, passengers will be served a complete lunch and drinks.
