About Avios
What are Avios?
When you join the Executive Club, you’ll collect reward points with us and our partners. We call them Avios.
You collect Avios when you fly, take a holiday, hotel stay or car rental with us plus our wide range of partners.
And when you’ve collected enough, you can spend your Avios for rewards such as flights, upgrades, hotel stays, car hire and more.
Becoming a Member is rewarding, no matter how often you fly.
Collecting Avios
As well as flights, you can collect Avios on holidays, hotel stays and car hire with us and our partners.
Spending Avios
Enjoy your rewards by spending your Avios on flights, upgrades, hotel stays, car rental and much more.
Buying Avios
If you don’t have enough Avios for a reward, you can buy more. You can also buy Avios as a gift.
Sharing Avios
Set up a Household Account to share Avios with up to six members of your household, including children.
Transfering Avios
You can also transfer your Avios to friends and family.
Combining Avios
You can combine Avios from an Iberia Plus or Qatar Airways Privilege Club account and choose how you spend them.
Claiming missing Avios
If you find you’re missing some Avios or Tier Points on your account you can claim them back within six months of your flight.
New members can even claim Avios and Tier Points for any British Airways flights flown in the three months before joining.
You can claim for most flights using our online claim form. You'll need to know your ticket number.
Call your local Service Centre if:
- You can't find your ticket number
- You're claiming for an upgrade that was paid for with money or Avios over the phone, or with cash at the airport
- You're claiming after being re-routed on to another service with another carrier
See our claiming FAQs for more help.

Avios expiry rules
Your Avios won't expire as long as you collect, spend, buy or share at least one Avios every 36 months.
If you don't collect or use your Avios at all for three years, your Avios will expire and be removed, so remember to take action before that time's up.
