American Airlines and British Airways have been in partnership with each other for two decades, which has resulted in a generous selection of benefits for their passengers.  

At Barrhead Travel we have a long history with them and use their flight routes to create many of our holiday packages to North America and the Caribbean. Specifically we recommend them for our cruise and stay packages. Here are 5 reasons why. 

Start your holiday earlier

Normally, the flying portion of any holiday is viewed as a non-exciting logistical part of the journey. But with American Airlines and British Airways you can make it just as much part of the journey: with different classes to choose from, a range of fun stop over options, private lounges for first and business passengers, and in-flight entertainment.
