@@ How can I earn and redeem Avios points on British Airways?
Earning and redeeming Avios points is one of the most rewarding features of flying with British Airways.
Avios are British Airways’ loyalty currency earned when you fly or shop with airline partners.

You earn Avios based on the distance flown and fare class, with premium classes earning more points.

Besides flying, shopping with British Airways partners, including hotels, car rentals, and credit cards, adds to your Avios balance.

When you accumulate enough Avios, you can redeem them for reward flights on British Airways and other oneworld alliance airlines.

Avios can also be used for upgrades, allowing you to enjoy premium cabins without paying full fare.

Short-haul flights often require fewer Avios, making them popular redemptions for weekend getaways or city breaks.

If you don’t have enough Avios for a full flight, you can use “Part Pay with Avios,” combining points with cash.

Avios expire if your account is inactive for 36 months.

You can pool Avios with family and friends in a Household Account to redeem rewards faster.

Be aware of taxes, fees, and carrier charges when redeeming Avios, which are payable in cash.

British Airways runs regular Avios sales and bonus point promotions.

Avios points can be transferred from some credit card reward programs, increasing flexibility.

Understanding peak and off-peak Avios pricing helps you plan travel during low-cost periods.

Using Avios for car rentals or hotel bookings is another way to save on travel expenses.

If you encounter issues redeeming or earning Avios, customer service is your go-to resource.

Finally, keep an eye on British Airways’ Executive Club updates, as program rules occasionally change.
