1. There is a minimum of 5 days for a car rental or hotel per the T&Cs for double tier points. Are these mix and match? In other words, can I book two days rental car and three nights hotel? If it is only all one or the other, can I book these in chunks--in other words, two night hotel + three nights hotel? Or two days car + three days car?
2. What is the effective discount rate for a BA holiday? Trying to book everything separately, it looks like about 4300 Euro for the flight + 900 Euro for the hotels plus 50 Euro for the car vs. a total package price of 4900 Euro so a savings of about 350 Euro which is about 6.5%. Does that sounds about right?
3. How flexible are the individual elements of the bookings? Can I change dates of the components or is everything totally fixed? Am I in effect buying totally non-changeable, non-refundable everything?
Thanks for any insight more experienced members of the forum can provide.
For 3. It depends on the rules of your hotel/ package. Most are changeable for a fee plus the difference in price but some are non changeable.
Cancellation and refunds would depend on how much youve paid ie just deposit or more and how close to travel you are. However the rules for changes and cancellations are displayed when making a package.
