A double tier point holiday is also an option, as the Hiltons I’ll be staying at are also available through BA. I just had so many points I virtually got the stays for free...My finances may not be too flexible, but my time is, so if need be, I can go later in the year. Definitely worth considering your suggestions. Thanks for the advice!
I mean BA is the DFS of sales. And whilst they are often some are way better than others. I remember 11 years ago they had an advent calendar and each day there was a gift such as extra free night in hotel, free upgrade to CE if staying more than 7 nights etc and I booked 2 amazing holidays then. Of late I’ve found the January sales better got a stinking deal flying F to JFK on 28 Dec this year booked in Jan this year and then got a decent sale fare to go to Cancun in Jan as well but booked in Apr
Remember if looking to go later ex Dublin fares need to be booked 6 months in advance.
Hope you get what you want.
