Holiday hotspots for 2013
BA published it's top holiday destination ideas for 2013. But are they the best way to get there or are there cheaper alternatives?
British Airways have compiled a list of the most desirable holiday destinations for 2013 with the Far East well represented as travellers seek out good value, unspoilt beauty and charm of Asia.
Naturally all the destinations are ones British Airways already fly to or are new for 2013, but it's worth shopping around as BA's prices can be beaten, sometimes even when using BA as the airline using the MoneyMaxim cheap flight finder.
