Only if the booking is made over the phone, holiday bookings made online at ba.com do not have the 24hr cancellation benefit that a flight only booking would enjoy.

Just to put a little more meat on those answers, here is the T&Cs:

Sections 3.2 & 3.3 are relevant and note that the 24 hour cancellation period for phone bookings does not apply if your departure date is 14 days or less away

I fell foul of this yesterday, booked a BA holiday online only to realise later that day that there was a "Spend Ł300 with BA and get an extra 3000 Avios" offer on my AMEX, had I booked on the phone I would have been able to cancel and book again and get the bonus. Oh well.

You'll just need to book another for later in the year
