Exceptions for Avios collection model
On 18 October, the Avios proposition changed from a distance-based Avios earning model, to a model that rewards British Airways Club members based on their spend.
Certain tickets bought after 18 October 2023, including flights booked as part of a British Airways Holidays package or through British Airways preferred travel agency partners, will continue collecting Avios based on a percentage of the flown miles, the cabin booked and ticketed and their membership tier (no minimum Avios apply).
These exceptions include but not limited to:
- Bulk fares
- Cruise fares
- Consolidator fares
- Tour Operator (e.g BA Holidays Package tickets)
- Inclusive tour and other tickets where the fare is not disclosed from a travel agent
- Airline Partner marketed flights (excluding American Airlines and Iberia)
To estimate how many Avios points you will collect for these specialist fares using the distance-flown Avios collection model, please use the calculator.
