British Airways has a sale running across flights and holidays, until 29 September 2026.
The mechanic is different from BA’s old spend-tiered discount. Fares and holiday prices are now discounted from the lowest price BA showed in the 34 days before 27 August 2026. That’s a real reduction against a recent baseline, not an inflated “was” price, though BA doesn’t publish a single headline percentage or a fixed £-off figure.
The sale covers flight-only, flight + hotel, and flight + car bookings, across the USA, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, the Indian Ocean, and business class routes.
Our take on the BA sale
This sale is harder to size up than a fixed-discount one. Because BA sets its own baseline, its recent lowest price, you can’t tell from the sale page alone whether a specific route or package is genuinely cheap or just normal price movement.
The safest approach: check the sale price against what BA, and a competitor or two, were charging a few weeks ago, rather than trusting the “sale” label on its own.
If you were already planning to book with BA, it’s worth checking your route while the sale runs. If you’re comparison shopping, treat it as one data point rather than the final word.
