LOOKING for an excuse to book a city break in Europe?

British Airways has launched a new flash sale with three nights for the price of two – but the deals won’t last long.

With prices from £179pp, Brits could bag three-night breaks from £59pp a night.

The only catch is that the sale will end on August 6, so there are only four days to take advantage of the deals.

No code is required, as the extra night will automatically apply to your booking.

The promotion includes these destinations: Nice, Venice, Prague, Budapest, Dublin, Glasgow, Stockholm, Warsaw, Barcelona, Lisbon, Seville, and Vienna. 

Plenty of departure airports are available across the UK, too, so there should be options for everyone.

Here are some of the best deals we’ve spotted in the sale:

If the prices online are slightly different when you go on the site, this is because the British Airways website is “updated every 24 to 48 hours”.

This year, the flag carrier airline revealed new short-haul seats, a new website, a mobile app, free onboard messaging, and a new “First Suite” on flights between the UK and US.

The brand-new seats will be rolled out on eight Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft later this year for all airline passengers.

Club Europe and Euro Traveller seats will also have USB-A and USB-C charging ports.

British Airways also launched its brand new safety video this summer, and people are comparing it to Bridgerton.

Called “A British Original Period Drama,” the five-minute video features 40 BA airline staff.

Unfortunately, short-haul flights without inflight entertainment screens won’t be able to catch it.

For a holiday closer to home, hundreds of seaside caravan holidays are now on sale in August, from £11pp a night.

Elsewhere, the ‘California of Europe’ has cheap beach holidays in September – with temperatures as hot as August.

And we’ve spotted all-inclusive Canary Islands holidays that won’t cost a fortune this August, with deals from £359pp.
