British Airways Holidays has announced the launch of the 2006/2007 Britain & Beyond brochure, offering a superb range of holiday packages and ground arrangements. It offers a wide range of options to holiday makers with the best attractions from across Europe and the US.
Travellers can now pick and choose the right combination to suit their budget, itinerary and sense of style, offering them the flexibility to mix and match hotels, car hire, transfers and excursions to complement British Airways flights.
“From accommodation, car rental and tours to theatre and attractions, this year’s brochure has everything travellers need to plan the ideal escape. In order to make decisions even easier for our customers, the brochure has introduced a “recommended” hotels list, which has been chosen for special criteria including central location, great value for money and exceptional facilities,” said Deborah Frampton, British Airways manager for the UAE.
Key attractions in London for this year’s programme include favourites like The Cumberland, which has undergone a $240 million transformation and the nearby Mostyn, an affordable hotel in a fantastic location. New hotel additions include the Shaftesbury Piccadilly with its luxuriously styled bedrooms featuring the latest in technology, brand new Saint Gregory Hotel located in the City and the modern, yet chic K West Hotel & Spa, which has a wide range of spectacular spa facilities and is located in Shepherds Bush.
