Currently 31st august I believe. Wondering how many are booking revenue flights & holidays beyond that ?
I wouldn’t bet on it being extended, to be honest.
This has actually got worse as far as I can see since the sale on Dec 16th. I booked a BA holiday a few weeks ago, paid a small deposit and do not have to pay the rest until 3 weeks before departure. I can also cancel the holiday completely at any point up til then and get a voucher for the deposit. So far so good.
I booked another holiday a couple of days ago and its changed. You still pay the small deposit, but the date at which you cancel is now 4 weeks before departure. However, the date at which the balance is due is now 7 weeks before departure meaning that you can either make your decision at 7 weeks and get a voucher for your deposit, or wait until the 4 week point but then you will get lumped with a voucher for the full value of the holiday. Quite a difference. I don’t mind having a voucher for £250, but certainly don’t want one for £10k or whatever, so effectively the decision point is now at 7 weeks before departure, and a lot can happen in 7 weeks!
Certainly not booking any holidays after 31st August either.
