BA query

**cinders** · 21 Oct 20, 10:14 AM

Hi

We are looking to book in August next year and gathering prices, does anyone know why British Airways is coming up so much cheaper than TUI and Virgin? I’m not complaining

but as I have never looked at BA before i wondered if there is something I don’t know, as the price is cheaper than TUI by over Ł1000.
Thanks in advance

BA are regularly cheaper for us than either VA or Tui but never as much as Ł1,000 though.

I can't usually check Tui as being a chartered operator they don't always fly when we go. We did however check all three for our April 2021 flights. For two PE tickets the approximate prices were BA Ł1,800, VA were Ł2,400 and Tui Ł2,500.

We've flown plenty of times with VA but more recently four or five with BA and absolutely nothing wrong with them.

One word of caution though. You have to pay to reserve PE seats with BA (around Ł40 each seat each way) - included in VA prices.

Without knowing routes , dates etc I can't comment on specifics but it may be that the TUI flights you are looking at are already busy/direct from regional airports which attract a premium etc. There is a similar thread by sophsters started yesterday too:-

For at least my last 5 visits I haven’t found anywhere cheaper than BA.
