If it’s a long-haul flight, you’ll also have a flat bed with White Company bedlinen. These breaks all include four-star and five-star hotel accommodation in some of the world’s most exciting cities, including Venice, New York and Cape Town, or beach breaks in glorious Mauritius and Cancún.
But to book your chance to take it easy, you need to hurry – book by midnight Tuesday 19 March.
These British Airways Holidays offers are limited-time deals, meaning you get the best available prices on some of the most popular destinations. All include all the usual British Airways benefits to make your journey more enjoyable. Where will your next journey take you?
Explore Prague’s unique Czech charms
Spring is Prague’s best time to explore the medieval Hradčany district, with narrow streets leading to St Vitus Cathedral and Prague Castle. Below, on the banks of the Charles River, you’ll find elegant, historic cafes such as the Slavia, but also the chance to explore the haunting buildings of the city’s ghetto.
Three nights, bed and breakfast at the four-star Duo hotel, from £349 per person, travelling between 1-30 July 2019 inclusive. Includes Club Europe return flights from London Heathrow
Try something different in Dubai
The most accessible part of the Middle East, Dubai is packed with things to do. Highly cosmopolitan, it has a genie-like ability to conjure up new experiences for its visitors. You can both snowboard and sandboard here, explore both malls and museums, while evenings bring the nightly fountain show and top-flight restaurants.
Seven nights, room-only at the four-star Hilton Garden Inn Mall of the Emirates, from £1,709 per person, travelling between 1-31 August 2019 inclusive. Includes Club World return flights from London Heathrow
Enjoy Venice at your own pace
After Carnival in early March, Venice is at its most atmospheric, with a touch of mist in the morning and – with luck – sunshine by the afternoon. Without the summer crowds, you’ll be able to wander through St Mark’s Square or visit the ancient market at the Rialto without jostling hordes, while restaurants, including the acclaimed but tiny Il Ridotto, have space for bookings.
Three nights, room-only at the four-star Hotel Admiral, from £299 per person, travelling between 1-27 May 2019 inclusive. Includes Club Europe return flights from London Gatwick
Get a new view of Cape Town
Just two hours ahead of the UK, Cape Town’s attractions come jet lag-free. This city mixes stunning scenery with a fascinating history and a vivid presence; you can go from Robben Island to paragliding off Table Mountain. And in the evening you can bar-hop at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.
Seven nights, room-only at the five-star Hilton Cape Town City Centre, from £2,489 per person, travelling between 1-30 June 2019 inclusive. Includes Club World return flights from London Heathrow
Cancun and the beach beyond
On Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, the Mayan Riviera, stretching south from the lively city of Cancun, has some of the world’s most staggering beaches, bands of silky soft sand facing the Caribbean Sea. There’s plenty to keep you in your resort, but also places to explore, from ancient Mayan ruins to the resort of Playa del Carmen.
Seven nights, all-inclusive at the four-star Allegro Playacar, from £1,839 per person, travelling between 1- 30 September 2019 inclusive. Includes Club World return flights from London Gatwick
Family fun and much more in Orlando
Orlando now offers luxury alongside theme parks that take in everything from family-based nostalgia to cutting-edge special effects and hair-raising rides. Disney World, Universal Studios and the Kennedy Space Center are must-sees, but you’ll also find botanical gardens, art museums and a growing restaurant culture.
Seven nights, room-only at the four-star Blue Heron Beach Resort, from £1,799 per person, travelling between 3 November-12 December 2019 inclusive. Includes Club World return flights from London Gatwick
New discoveries in New York
There’s no crucible quite like New York; a constantly changing scene for food, art, fashion and theatre. A trip to the Big Apple never disappoints and this year sees the opening of Hudson Yards, a new restaurant and entertainment district in Midtown, plus a major outlet shopping centre opening on Staten Island.
Four nights, room-only at the four-star DoubleTree by Hilton, from £1,399 per person, travelling between 3-31 January 2020 inclusive. Includes Club World return flights from London Heathrow
Mix culture with cuisine in Miami
With glorious beaches and some of America’s most famous hotels, Miami has always been a city devoted to pleasure. Now there’s a significant cultural scene as well, with the art district Wynwood awash with street art and landmark museums such as the Perez, alongside some of the city’s best restaurants. Nearby, Little Havana brings a Cuban vibe with bars and street food.
Five nights, room-only at the four-star Tradewinds Apartment Hotel Miami Beach, from £1,699 per person, travelling between 9-31 January 2020. Includes Club World return flights from London Heathrow
Exotic, exquisite Mauritius
The Indian Ocean island of Mauritius is truly bewitching, a mixture of white sand beaches, rainforest and small towns and villages. Dotted with sugar and tea plantations, a legacy of French occupation has left it with a sophisticated food culture, but you’ll also find giant tortoises and golf courses.
Seven nights, half-board at the four-star Le Meridien lle Maurice, from £2,599 per person, travelling between 1-30 June 2019 inclusive. Includes Club World return flights from London Gatwick
