British Airways and British Airways Holidays have launched their January sale, offering discounted flights and holiday packages for travel throughout 2026. The sale is now live and will run until 27 January 2026. Deals cover a wide range of destinations, including Europe, the United States, the Middle East and long-haul leisure markets, with availability across economy and business cabins to support early trip planning.

The promotion highlights destinations that ranked among the most searched in British Airways Holidays’ recently released Travel Trends Report. New York, Orlando and Dubai sit at the top of that list, alongside long-standing favourites such as the Maldives and Barbados. Customers can choose between flight-only fares or bundled holiday packages, with travel dates spread across multiple months of 2026 rather than limited to peak periods.

Transatlantic routes play a major role in the sale, particularly with 2026 expected to be a high-interest year for US travel. British Airways is offering reduced fares to cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, reflecting growing demand linked to major events and the Route 66 centenary. Discounts also apply to leisure destinations such as Cancun and Dubai, as well as selected Club World and Club Europe services.

Sample sale prices currently available include:

  • Return flights to New York from £388
  • Return flights to Orlando from £397
  • Seven-night European holiday packages from £299pp
  • European city breaks from £159pp
  • Savings of up to £500 on Club World flights

More promotional fares and packages can be viewed in full on the British Airways website.

Beyond the headline offers, the sale makes a wider range of destinations easier to plan into the year ahead. European coastal regions, US cities tied to cultural and sporting calendars, and long-haul beach destinations all become more accessible with earlier booking windows. For travellers mapping out 2026 in advance, the sale marks a clear signal that next year’s travel season has already begun.
