BA looks ahead

British Airways (BA) has published details of its Avios short-haul flights for next Easter in conjunction with its Executive Club.

The first Avios-only flights to Sharm El Sheikh in November 2023 and Geneva in February 2024, were both snapped up by Members in less than 24 hours.

Following this success, BA has opened five more return journeys that will operate as Avios-only flights in 2023 and 2024. Members will have the opportunity to travel on both Avios-only flights or combine them with other available travel dates.

From Gatwick there is outbound to Las Palmas 15 November returning 22 November.  To Lanzarote the dates are 4 December/11 December and moving into 2024 for Tenerife 29 March/7 April 2024.

With Heathrow it is the same dates, for Barcelona and Nice in 2024.

BA guarantees a minimum of 12 and 14 Reward Seats on all other short- and long-haul flights respectively as standard, whereas Avios-only flights mean that every seat is available to purchase using Avios. Members booking the Avios-only flight can do so in any cabin as they would normally. Reward Seats are those that can be purchased using Avios at static rates.  

Customers with BA American Express credit cards will also be able to use their Companion Vouchers on the Avios-only flights, entitling them to a second seat for just the taxes and charges, or half the amount of Avios.

The BA Executive Club is a free-to-join reward programme for anyone who loves travel. Its currency is Avios, which can be collected by flying with BA or its partner airlines, taking a holiday, making purchases with more than 1,500 retailers when shopping through BA at shopping.ba.com, or through everyday spending with a wide range of partners such as American Express, Avis Budget Group, Marriott and Nectar.

Earlier this year, BA Holidays became the latest addition to the programme, allowing members to book a holiday package from as little as £1 + 67,650 Avios for two people sharing.
