British Airways has launched a massive sale for flights and holiday packages: here are the best deals

Thinking about booking a holiday? Act soon, and you could bag yourself a serious deal. British Airways (BA) has a massive sale on, and if you book before May 20 you could be in for some proper bargains.

BA has dubbed its current batch of deals ‘The Original Sale’, and the UK’s national carrier is offering hundreds of pounds off flights across the world throughout 2025 and 2026. Whether you’re after a simple return journey or the full flight/hotel/bags package, the airline has got you covered.

All flights included in the deals depart from London Heathrow or Gatwick and, according to BA, some of the airline’s most popular routes are currently on sale. Destinations include St Lucia from £520 per person for a return flight this November, and seven nights in Tenerife for £359 per person in November.

The only catch is that each deal is only available for specific dates, which vary between destinations, so make sure you read the small print when you make your booking.

The best BA sale deals in The Original Sale 2025

• For the ultimate city break, you could go to New York for three nights next January (2026), staying at a 3* hotel from £579pp. That doesn’t include any food but it does account for one 23kg checked bag each.
• Alternatively, for something more beachy, try seven nights in Orlando for £569pp, also in January 2026.
• If you don’t fancy a long-haul flight, don’t fret – does seven nights in a four star hotel in Halkidiki, Greece for less than £350pp sound nice? Of course it does. Plus, this holiday is on offer in October, when it’ll be getting cold and wet in the UK and you’ll be in desperate need of a bit of sun. It also includes breakfast. What’s not to love?
• In terms of beach holidays, you’re spoiled for choice. Head to Mauritius for £879pp next January, or to an all-inclusive resort in Cancun for only £929pp this September. There’s also Barbados for less than £700pp, including flights and accommodation.
• Closer to home, try the Algarve in November for as little as £269, or seven nights in Corfu for £349. There are also several European city breaks on offer, all for less than £150pp. 

Basically, what we’re trying to get across is that there’s a lot of choice.
