New interactive map makes using Avios easier

7 Mar 2013

If you’re an Executive Club Member, you’ll know all about Avios. But have you tried our updated interactive Avios Explorer Map?

It makes it easier than ever before to find and book a reward flight.

The map is fully interactive and the filter options have been simplified, giving you an even better way of searching for reward flights and availability. Just log in and if you know where you want to go to, the map can tell you instantly how many Avios you need to get there. Or if you’re not sure, the map will show you all the destinations your Avios balance could take you to.

Then once you’ve found the flight you’re looking for, you simply click through to a flight availability calendar for a year ahead, and book.

There are also handy pricing options. So if you haven’t quite got enough Avios for the flight you want, you can use Avios & Money to supplement your Avios with cash and get the flight today.

And if you need inspiration, city guides and climate information are just a click away, plus tips and a handy tour of the map.

So whether you’ve got 5,000 Avios or 300,000 see where you can go now.
