British Airways City Breaks 2025/2026
Our British Airways City Breaks Guide In 2025/2026
If you enjoy the luxury of the UK's flag carrier, BA city breaks are the perfect way to explore hundreds of destinations with British Airways, and with hand-baggage only fares, means your preferred getaway could be even cheaper than you thought. From city breaks in Barcelona to a long weekend in NYC, there are loads of great options to choose from.
If you're a member of British Airways' Executive Club, you can also collect Avios points on your flights, and spend points towards the cost of your holiday. It's worth noting that BA companion ticket availability can be a little scarce, so popular destinations like New York, Venice, Prague and Marrakech might be a little more difficult to come by if you wanted to use your companion ticket.
If London City Airport, is your local, BA Cityflyer flies to a dozen or so cities in Europe as well as New York. You can also enjoy a break from Manchester or Scotland too and see the sights of many cities in Europe like Rome, Amsterdam and Barcelona.

Need Some Inspiration For A BA City Break?
For a getaway with your other half, why not try romantic Rome? Take in the history of this incredible city, or simply watch the world go by in one of Rome's many piazzas. City breaks in Rome start from £189pp with British Airways.
Or perhaps try something further afield like New York. Nicknamed the Big Apple and the City That Never Sleeps, you'll be exploring until you step back on the plane. Fly direct with British Airways to New York JFK or Newark airports and why not upgrade to Premium Economy on your flight home if it's a special occasion?
Our Top 10 BA City Break Destinations
With British Airways you can enjoy a city break in a range of top destinations. Here are some of our favourites:
Rome
Rome is a fantastic city to explore, from it's incredible history, to it's sublime Italian cuisine. A BA city break to Rome is possible from three London airports, Gatwick, Heathrow and London City.
Venice
If you've never been to Venice, it truly is stunning and ideal for a romantic city break. While we all know it's full of canals, one of the best ways to explore the city is by foot, getting lost in the back streets and stumbling upon a cute canalside restaurant.
Barcelona
A favourite for beach and city, BA city breaks to Barcelona are possible from London Heathrow and Gatwick airports. For outdoor adventurers, make sure to head out and explore Monserrat too.
New York
New York city breaks are usually filled with plenty of food, shopping and sightseeing, but if you fancy something a little alternative, why not combine a break with a few days exploring the rest of New York state?
Lisbon
Lisbon is a fascinating city to enjoy. Upcoming in the tech scene, the city is growing in popularity and that brings with it cool and quirky places to eat, drink and discover.
Las Vegas
While you might think of BA Holidays when you think of Vegas, Las Vegas is fantastic for a few days in the sunshine, relaxing by the pool and enjoying the excitement of the city.
Amsterdam
Being just a quick hop across the channel, Amsterdam is ideal for a short BA weekend break. Whether you're visiting with the family or on a stag weekend with the boys, you'll enjoy all that's on offer here.
Dubai
Whether you consider it a holiday or a city break destination, Dubai is perfect for sun worshippers who just want a few days of (almost) guaranteed sunshine by the pool.
Prague
One of our favourite cheap city breaks, Prague offers budget friendly accommodation, food and drinks, and with British Airways' hand baggage only fares, is ideal for getting away for less.
Berlin
In July, the "beach bar" are a fun way to take in the city, while in December, Berlin makes for the perfect Christmas market city break destination. Lots of culture, lots of great bars and just a short flight away.
