Travelers who book a holiday package anywhere in the world by December 2 can also take advantage of tiered savings. These peak at £300 off with a minimum spend of £10,000 per booking, with BA also offering £200 off with a minimum spend of £5,000 per booking, £100 off with a minimum spend of £2,500 per booking, and £50 off with a minimum spend of £1,250 per booking.
