Virgin Atlantic Holidays is offering a clean cash discount on hotel-only bookings with code HOTELONLY, up to £150. We like this because it is money off the part of the trip that often hurts most. If you hit the higher spend tiers, £100 to £150 back is the sort of saving that covers transfers, meals, or a couple of decent nights out.
It is also a flexible way to build a trip. You can lock in the hotel now, then shop around for flights later, rather than being tied to a package price on one set of dates.
The catch is that it is not £150 off every booking. The saving scales with what you spend, and it only applies to selected hotel-only stays.
Verdict: a genuinely useful discount if you are planning a trip where you want the freedom to choose flights separately. The deadline is 31 May, but the travel window runs up to 31 May 2027, so it is as handy for early-bird planning as it is for a summer or autumn trip.
