Collecting Avios on vacations
Wouldn’t it be great to be rewarded for going on vacation? As a British Airways Club member, you'll collect 1 bonus Avios for every $1 you spend on flight + hotel and flight + car packages, and on hotels, cars and sightseeing when booked separately or added to a flight booking.
Coming soon - from November 24, Club members can collect 6 Avios for every £1* spent on vacation packages.

We're simplifying the way you collect Avios on vacation packages
From November 24, Avios collected on vacation packages will be shared equally between all members on the booking who have added their British Airways Club membership number.
Members will see how many Avios they can collect based on the total cost of their vacation package when they book. This is calculated at 6 Avios for every £1 spent, with the cost converted from USD to GBP using the rate of exchange calculated on the date the booking was made.
This replaces the current approach, where travelers collect Avios on the flight element of their booking, while the lead traveler also collects 1 bonus Avios for every $1 spent on the vacation package.
It's a simpler and more rewarding way to collect Avios on vacations. Each member can now collect their share individually or pool their Avios through a Household Account.
