British Airways and British Airways Holidays have today launched their January sale, running until 27 January 2026. Customers can kick off the year in style with great discounts on flights and holiday packages to destinations worldwide, perfect for banishing the winter blues.

The sale features savings on getaways to some of the most-searched holiday destinations this year and those featured in British Airways Holidays’ recent Travel Trends Report, including New York, Orlando, Dubai, the Maldives and Barbados.

Discounted flight fares 

With 2026 marking Route 66’s centenary and major sporting events in the US, there has never been a better time to venture across the Atlantic, with return flights starting from £411 to Los Angeles, £427 to San Francisco and £439 to Miami.

For those who prefer to unwind on a sandy beach, the airline has discounted fares to Dubai and Cancun, starting from £449 and £482, retrospectively.

Customers looking to elevate their travel experience can enjoy up to £500 off Club World flights (long-haul business class), including £2,999 to Montreal and £2,599 to the Maldives. Customers travelling in the airline’s Club World cabin can enjoy a fully flat bed, more personal space, additional baggage allowance, priority boarding and a selection of delicious meals with a full bar service.

Travellers looking for something closer to home can book return Club Europe (short-haul business class) flights to Geneva from £282 and Amsterdam from £239.

Hot savings on holiday packages  

British Airways Holidays is offering seven-night holiday packages (including flights and hotels) to European destinations such as Malaga, Algarve, Malta and Mallorca from only £299pp.

For those looking to enjoy a weekend getaway, customers can experience a city break to a range of European destinations such as Barcelona, Nice or Venice from just £159pp. The tour operator is also offering discounts on holidays to the US, with seven-nights in Florida and Los Angeles starting both from £599pp.

Andrew Flintham, Managing Director of British Airways Holidays, said: “One of the biggest outtakes from our recently launched 2026 Travel Trends Report was how wellness culture continues to impact the way we holiday, in particular how UK travellers are ignoring traditional time constraints in order to take their holidays seriously. We hope the wide range of packages and flight deals available in the January Sale will mean our customers can book that all important time away, to switch off and jet set into the New Year.”
