Gold membership

More rewarding travel

As a Gold Member, you'll collect double Avios points every time you travel with us, on top of the usual cabin bonuses, giving you more to spend on reward flights and upgrades, and on hotel stays and car rental, depending on your location.

• Collect Avios on all British Airways, Iberia, and qualifying partner flights including oneworld^®, as well as with our worldwide network of hotel, car rental, financial and shopping partners
• 100% bonus Avios on all British Airways flights, plus a range of bonuses on partner airlines
• Spend Avios on flights and upgrades, and on hotels and car rental depending on your location
• Share Avios with family members in a Household Account

Making it easier to spend Avios

Spending your Avios is one of the best bits of the Club but only if you can spend them on the flight you want, when you want. As a Gold Member you'll get access to additional reward availability in economy cabins at the standard price.

If there are no reward seats left within your chosen cabin or on the flight, with the Gold Priority Reward you have the option of using double the regular Avios to secure a seat of your choice on the flight, providing you book 30 days or more in advance. All you have to do is call us to make the arrangements.

Our First lounges await you and a guest

Think of our lounges as your Club rooms, your own personal space away from the hustle and bustle of airport life where you and a guest can unwind, recharge, and prepare for your flight. Enjoy complimentary food and drink, a relaxing environment, and a range of business facilities at over 170 lounges worldwide.

Elemis Travel Spa

De-stress and re-energise with complimentary skin therapies and relaxation treatments courtesy of one of the most renowned British spa and skincare brands, available whenever you fly longhaul into or out of London Heathrow and New York JFK.

Putting you in control

No more standing around at the airport. Your Gold Membership status opens up access to worldwide first-class check-in desks and priority boarding, whatever cabin you're flying in, so you can leave the queues behind and get on with your day.

We'll also work to ensure your plans aren't disrupted when flights get busy through Reservation Assurance and priority waitlisting.

• Access to British Airways First and other oneworld first-class check-in desks
• Priority boarding
• Priority at Baggage Arrival Services desks
• Reservation Assurance on full fare economy tickets, ensuring a seat even where the flight is full
• Priority over Blue, Bronze and Silver Members on waitlists
• No booking or service fees for reward flights using Avios

A tailored service

We've included a few thoughtful details to take some of the hassle out of travel for our Gold Members:

• Free seat selection at the time of booking, whatever cabin you're travelling in, for everyone in your party - even people on other bookings as long as you are travelling in the same cabin on the same flight
• An extra piece of checked baggage when you travel in our economy cabins
• A direct line to our dedicated team of customer support staff for when you need to speak with us (see the back of your membership card for the number)

An upgraded experience

Even with the exceptional rewards of Gold membership, we often find that Members still like something to aim for.

That's why we've reserved some of the most exceptional rewards for Gold Members who earn even more Tier Points: upgrades for two, Silver membership for a partner, and a card to the luxurious Concorde Room lounges.

This part of the Club is a very small club indeed. Care to join it?

• At 2,500 Tier Points, and again at 3,500 Tier Points, we'll award you with a voucher that you and a companion can use towards an upgrade to the next cabin on a flight of your choice, subject to availability
• At 4,500 Tier Points, you can share your membership benefits by giving someone else our prestigious Executive Club Silver Partner Card
• At 5,000 Tier Points, you will receive the Concorde Room Card, your key to the most luxurious and well-appointed lounges at London Heathrow Terminal 5 and New York JFK Terminal 7, the perfect setting for both relaxation and business
