British Airways Holidays is kicking off its ‘End of Summer Sale’ with a bang, offering enticing deals on flights and holiday packages to some of the world’s most sought-after destinations. This sale is a perfect opportunity to plan your next adventure, whether you’re dreaming of a winter getaway in 2024 or a far-flung escape in 2025.
The company has also unveiled its top 25 destinations for 2025, providing a glimpse into the travel trends shaping the upcoming year. New York continues to reign supreme as the most popular choice, demonstrating its enduring charm. The anticipation for the third season of a popular Emmy-winning TV comedy-drama has boosted Phuket and Bangkok to the 16th and 20th spots, respectively, making them attractive holiday destinations for the year ahead.
New entries on the list include Nashville at number 22, likely fueled by the resurgence of country music, and Corfu at 23, boosted by a surge in new hotel openings. Australia rounds out the top 25, marking its entry at number 25. Los Angeles is experiencing a rise in popularity due to its impressive lineup of upcoming world-class sporting events. Meanwhile, Grenada has seen a jump of five spots, potentially influenced by its recent feature in a popular TV show.
British Airways Holidays offers a range of packages, including deals for the top 25 destinations. Customers can choose from flight and hotel combinations, flight and car combinations, or customize their own packages. For those seeking far-off adventures, the company offers a week in Grenada starting from £649 per person or St. Lucia from £689 per person. Alternatively, travelers can experience the excitement of Las Vegas for seven nights from £669 per person or explore New York for three nights from £519 per person.
For travelers seeking closer-to-home getaways, British Airways Holidays provides short-haul packages. Options include a beach holiday in the Algarve from £249 per person for seven nights or Halkidiki from £379 per person for seven nights.
