Chasing BA Status? BA Holidays Extends Double Tier Points Offer

If you are looking to obtain or increase your BA status in the next 12 months there has never been a better time! BA Holidays have just announced that their double-tier points offer is being extended until 30 September 2023. This extension covers both existing and new bookings… so what are you waiting for?

Anything to be aware of?

You need to book either a ‘flight and hotel’ or ‘flight and car’ package for 5 or more nights via BA Holidays, for travel completed by 30th September 2023.

The flights you book must have a BA flight number. It doesn’t matter if the underlying carrier isn’t BA aslong as you have a BA flight number.

Both NEW AND EXISTING bookings count

What will BA status get me?

Having status with BA can bring you a variety of benefits for example priority check-in, lounge access, extra luggage allowance, and free seat selection to name a few. Having these benefits can make travel easier and much more enjoyable, particularly when it comes to lounge access and priority security.

Below are a few examples of what you could achieve with BA Holiday Double Tier Points…

1) A holiday booked to Paphos in Business Class with BA would get you 160 Tier Points normally. With this offer, you’d get 320 Tier Points which is enough for Bronze status with BA.

Bronze BA status includes…

• A larger amount of Avios per flight
• Get free seat selection 7 days from flying
• Access to Business Class check-in desks & priority boarding

2) A holiday booked to New York in Business Class with BA would get you 280 Tier Points normally. With this offer, you’d get 560 Tier Points which is just short of Silver status with BA. Add in an Economy ticket to Paphos (as long as it’s in fare class K, L, M, N, S, V) or two shorter European trips and you’ll have 600 Tier Points and Silver status with BA.

Silver BA status includes…

• The Bronze Benefits
• An even larger amount of Avios per flight
• Access to Business Class lounges
• Free additional checked luggage.
• Choose your seats for free at the time of booking.
