Bronze benefits

How you could get to Bronze tier

Here's an example of how different fare types can reduce the number of flights needed to reach Bronze tier:

*This is calculated on eligible spend, which is your fare and any carrier-imposed charges. Eligible spend is based on return flight prices from April - September 2026. 

**Extra tier points are based on the number of return flights and the fare type chosen.

Here’s an example of how you could reach Bronze tier through multiple methods:

*This is calculated on eligible spend, which is your fare and any carrier-imposed charges. Eligible spend is based on return flight prices from April - September 2026. 

**Extra tier points are based on 2 Business return flights to Geneva and a 7-night holiday in Tenerife with British Airways Holidays, flying in Economy.

As a Bronze member, you'll collect seven Avios per qualifying pound (GBP) spent whenever you fly with British Airways or American Airlines and six Avios per qualifying euro (EUR) with Iberia.

You'll earn tier points when you fly with us, book a British Airways Holidays package, or buy extras such as paying to choose your seat. Plus you get up to 900 extra tier points on every flight, depending on your cabin and fare type.

On other oneworld® airlines, your Avios and tier points depend on how far you fly, your choice of cabin and which airline you fly with.

Tier point milestone rewards

As you continue earning tier points and get closer to Silver, you’ll unlock bonus Avios.

When you reach 5,750 tier points, we’ll give you 2,500 bonus Avios to spend on your next Reward Flight, upgrade or Avios part payment.

Speed through the airport by using our business class check-in desks and priority boarding* - regardless of what cabin you’re travelling in, whenever you fly with British Airways, Aer Lingus or one of our oneworld airline partners.

You'll see a group number on your boarding pass which will automatically reflect your priority. As your group will be one of the first to board, you’ll be able to settle in and relax before take-off. If you arrive after your priority group has been called, you can use the priority lane to board at your leisure.

*Bronze members travelling through JFK are not eligible to use business class check-in but instead have access to a dedicated Bronze/Ruby check-in lane.

Take some of the stress out of check-in with free seat selection* for you and everyone on your booking from seven days before time of departure on British Airways flights.

*Not available on group rate bookings and excluding exit row seats. You must be travelling on the booking for the benefit to apply.

We don't plan on losing your bags, and we have an excellent record of getting baggage to our customers at their destination on time.

But if your bag doesn't arrive when you do, we'll bring you to the front of the queue, so we can start searching for it sooner.

If you're planning on taking maternity, paternity or adoption leave you can apply to keep your Bronze membership even if you take fewer flights during this time. Also, if you enrol your child as part of your household account, we'll give them a welcome gift of 1,000 Avios.

To extend your membership, just send your documentation to us at baby@ba.com. Once we've verified your documents, we'll email you to confirm the renewal of your Bronze membership and how to enrol your child into the Club.

As a member, you and up to six other members of your household, including children, can link your Club memberships together for free. You'll continue to collect Avios individually, but we'll pool them for you to spend together, bringing those rewards even closer.

You can also share your Avios with people outside your household, by adding them to your family and friends list.

You can save your seating and meal preferences with us, so there's no need to remember them every time you travel. We'll do our best to provide your preferred choices wherever the option is available.

• Preferred seats allocated wherever possible when travelling on a fully flexible ticket
• Preferred alternative meal delivered on catered flights

You’ll be the first to hear our news and take advantage of our member-only offers.

We'll bring you regular, exclusive deals on luxury holidays and hotels, offers on car rental and experiences, and lots of great new ways to boost your Avios.

To reach Silver, you'll need to earn 8,000 tier points, or take a total of 50 eligible flights.
