Hi folks,
Just remembered this little pro-tip that worked for me recently.
We were looking at flights on BA.com recently (from London to Prague) and noticed that if we booked the flights *with* a hotel on top for the week from their list of available hotels, the total cost was actually *less* than if we just booked the flights alone. And I mean £250 cheaper.
We checked and double-checked, even tried booking using Incognito Mode. It looks like it's some kind of promotion that they're able to offer, at least they were at the time, a month or two ago.
So not only did we save £250 on the flights but we also had a handy hotel right in the middle of town for a week to crash at! It was a proper chain hotel too, not some scummy out-of-town dive.
And no, you don't actually need to stay at the hotel. Even if the one you wanted to book isn't on the list to book with the flights, or if you don't need a hotel at all (if staying with friends or family for example) there's nothing stopping you booking with a hotel from the list and getting the discount.
Just a heads-up!
No idea if this works with other airlines or if you use a travel agent etc.
Cheers,

(work paying thankfully). Yes, I know that an 11-hour overnight flight on a business trip should qualify for Club (or Premium Economy at the very least) but there's no chance
