About Tier Points and eligible flights

You’ll earn Tier Points when you fly with us, our oneworld^® airline partners and subsidiaries.

Collecting Avios & Tier Points on flights

This depends on the route, airline and fare class. Long haul flights in premium cabins award the most Tier Points:

1. Use our flight calculator to calculate how many Tier Points and Avios you’ll collect.
2. Already booked? See how many points you’ll collect in Manage My Booking under 'passenger information'.

How to get to each tier

Bronze:

• Simply fly with us at least twice and earn 300 Tier Points, or
• Take a total of 25 British Airways flights.

Silver:

• Fly with us at least four times and earn 600 Tier Points, or
• Take a total of 50 British Airways flights.

Gold:

• Fly with us at least four times and earn 1,500 Tier Points.

Eligible flights are defined as those flights marketed or operated by British Airways and those flights marketed and operated by Iberia.

• 'Marketed' means the flight will have a BA flight number (in your itinerary or on your ticket).
• 'Operated' means the aircraft that you travel on is a British Airways aircraft (including franchises and BACityflyer).
• 'Marketed and operated by Iberia' means the flight will have an IB flight number and the aircraft you travel on is an Iberia aircraft (including franchises).

Reward bookings and agency or industry discounted bookings are not eligible.

You’ll be awarded that status straight away (it can take up to 48 hours to show on your account). It lasts for the rest of your membership year and the full following membership year, unless you reach the next tier in the meantime.

For example:

• If you start your Membership year as a Blue Member and earn 300 Tier Points, you’ll become a Bronze Member.
• You’ll continue to earn Tier Points and if you reach 600 within the same year, you’ll become a Silver Member.
• Your Tier Points reset to zero at the end of your Membership year but you’ll continue to be a Silver Member for the next Membership year.

Yes, your Tier Points expire at the end of each membership year – the anniversary of when you joined the Club.

However they will be added to your Lifetime Tier Points, the total Tier Points you’ve ever earned with the Club.

Your membership year-end date and Lifetime Tier Points are on your account page:

You can claim any missing Tier Points or Avios within six months of your flights using your ticket number.

New Members can claim for British Airways flights taken up to three months before joining.
