Every important airline and hotel offer this year

Here’s the ultimate long list of every travel offer out there

If you’re booking hotels or flights, this is the easiest way to see all major active offers. We’re now in the busiest period for booking flights and hotels, so hotels and airlines are typically more aggressive with their offers.

Updated 26th December 2025

As we’re in peak travel booking season, this list is being updated as more offers are added.

How this page works

To make things easy, I’ve split offers into flights and hotels. A summary of each offer is provided below. You can then click each offer, and the page will scroll to more information.

I have not included regular “always on” offers that run throughout the year, these are specific to Winter 2025 and into January 2026.

The latest flight offers

Double Skywards miles with Emirates

Book a flight between 26th December 2025 and midnight on 31st December 2025 for travel between 1st Jan 2026 and 31st March 2026, and you’ll earn double the miles. This is across every cabin (Economy, Premium, Business, First).

You must be a Skywards member, register for the offer, and fly from the UK. Emirates have excellent connections from England and Scotland, with flights from Manchester, Birmingham, London (Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted) as well as Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh. The flight must have an EK flight number operated by Emirates.

You can read my recent review of Emirates First Class on their A380.

British Airways “The Original” Sale.

“Prices advertised during our sale period are discounted from the regular selling price”. That’s probably the least enticing tagline for a sale, but nevertheless, British Airways has a sale on, and you should expect some flights to be discounted.

Whilst the headline is simple, the offer is not. Hidden away in the T&Cs is a breakdown of the dates on which the sale is offered, based on each city. Whilst there are plenty of dates available, you are going to have to read through this. Some destinations require a minimum stay, or booking a certain number of days in advance. There are blackout dates, and whilst some cities have offers on well into the Summer of 2026, others have sale periods that end as early as March.

Qatar “Up to 15%” off, offer

Get 15% off Economy flights and upto 12% off Business Class flights for a very limited (72 hour) period. There is a shortlist of destinations for this offer on the offer page. It is quite an eclectic set of destinations, but aside from that list, and the limited time to book it, the offer terms are relatively simple.

There are blackout travel dates around Valentine’s Day (12th Feb 2026 to 14th Feb 2026 outbound, 20th Feb to 23rd Feb 2026 inbound) plus Easter (24th Mar 2026 to 3rd April 2026 outbound and 9th April 2026 to 19th April 2026 inbound).

Qatar operate one of the greatest First Class lounges in the World at Doha. You can read my review of the Al Safwa lounge.

Virgin Atlantic “Upto £300” off, offer.

Virgin are running a price reduction offer on Boxing Day only. Get upto £300 off on holidays booked for 2026. The discount is based on the total cost of the holiday:

  • Get £75 off your booking when you spend between £2,000 and £2,999
  • £100 off if you spend between £3,000 and £3,999
  • £150 off if you spend between £4,0000 and £5,999
  • £225 off for holiday bookings between £6,000 and £9,999
  • And finally, £300 off when your booking is over £10,000

These are for holidays rather than flights, so spending £2,000 isn’t out of reach. You can read more about the sale on their dedicated page.

The American Airlines North American Sale

Book before the 27th January 2026 to take advantage of sale prices. There is no clarity on the price reduction, and some flights you book may be BA flights under an AA flight number. There are specific dates for each destination (see the terms and conditions for the full list) but there is coverage for most destinations across the majority of 2026.

AA have an excellent First Class arrivals lounge at Heathrow, alongside a decent First Class departure lounge in Terminal 3.

The latest hotel offers

Radisson: Upto 35% off

This offer is simple. Members of Radisson (joining is free) get upto 35% off 2026 stays. You will also earn an extra 3,000 bonus points per stay. You must book by the 1st January 2026, and stays from the 2nd February 2026 through the 31st December 2026.

Book the offer through the dedicated Radisson sale page.

Premier Inn: Save 15%

If you book a stay of two nights or more, you can save 15% if you book by the 12th Jan 2026. Bookings have to take place before the 30th April 2026. That means your checkout must be on or before this date, rather than the date that you arrive.

You book through the Premier Inn website. There is no offer page or special code to get access to this. There is a small-ish list of hotels that this offer is excluded from in the T&Cs.
