British Airways Executive Club Double Tier Points For Holiday Bookings

British Airways has launched double tier points offer for Holiday Package bookings ex-UK.

Executive Club members’ outbound travel must occur between June 9 – September 30, 2021, and the booking must be a minimum of five nights.

You can access this offer on BA’s website here.

Note that this does not apply to pure flight bookings but must include a car or hotel component. The offer applies to existing bookings and is also eligible on British Airways codeshares operated by partners.

Three caveats:

1. The reservation must be for a minimum of two passengers

2. There booking must be a minimum of 5 nights

3. The car or hotel or both component must be for the duration of the trip

And if you book a hotel as part of the Holiday package, it is not eligible for hotel loyalty program points or elite benefits.

Conclusion

Many use British Airways Holidays essentially as a cheap “hold” option as you don’t need to pay the “package” a the time of booking, but relatively close to the departure. You merely forfeit the small deposit if you decide not to complete the purchase.

Also, the reservation qualifies as a Holiday Booking as long as you couple the flight with at least a one-night hotel stay or book a car for a day. Sometimes BA flights can be cheaper if bought as part of a package, and nobody forces you to use the other package component (hotel or car).

This latest BA promotion only applies to genuine Holiday booking as you need to have a hotel or car for the duration of the trip.
