Quick thoughts

The key things to note there are that …

(a) Only European holiday bookings count.

(b) Only holiday bookings with a UK departure airport count.

(c) Bookings made prior to registration will not count.

(d) Bookings that don’t include a flight will not count.

(e) There are no minimum spending criteria required to trigger the bonus Avios (this is very good news).

The fact that only bookings with a departure from the UK are valid for this promotion may put off quite a few readers, but if you’re planning to visit Europe this summer, you can always book your long-haul flights to/from the UK and then, as long as it makes financial sense, book a second trip, originating in the UK, which will take you to wherever on the continent it is that you’d like to visit and which will trigger the bonus.

At TFM we value Avios at just 1.0 cents each, and that values the bonuses on offer at $50 (~£37) and $100 (~£74) respectively (your valuation may differ) and those aren’t exactly earth shattering sums … but if you were already considering a late booking for a European trip this summer, you may as well lock in something a little extra and, on a future short-haul booking, you could probably put 5,000 or 10,000 Avios to very good use.

Bottom line

British Airways Holidays is currently offering bonuses of 5,000 and 10,000 Avios for European holiday bookings made by 23 July which cover travel between 7 July and 31 October 2025.

Clearly, anyone considering one of these bookings should compare the price of a BA Holiday booking with the cost of booking flights and hotels (or flights and car) separately before handing over their credit card details, but if you were already thinking about booking a trip from the UK to somewhere in continental Europe (or the European part of the Mediterranean), keep this offer in mind as the bonus Avios could be useful.
