British Airways Executive Club Members Can Now Pay with Avios

British Airways Executive Club members now have more options than ever when it is time to use their Avios.

With the new option of redeeming them towards the cost for a British Airways Holidays reservation,

British Airways Holidays customers can now use Avios to offset the holiday's total cost when booking a flight, hotel or car package. Customers will be able choose from up to nine Avios payment options when they check out. This allows them to select the amount of cash or Avios that they want to spend. The cash amount can start at PS1, provided they have a valid Avios balance. Examples include:

Return flights to Barcelona and two nights accommodation starting at PS1 +67,650 Avios per couple (50p +33,825 per head)**

Fly back with your partner and stay in New York for three nights starting at PS1 + 246,275 Avios (50p + 123,188 Avios per head)**

Customers can also pay a deposit using Avios and the rest of the balance with cash. This is provided that the balance is paid in full at least four to five weeks before short-haul travel or seven weeks after long-haul.

British Airways Executive Club members will continue to earn Double Tier Points with British Airways Holidays. They must book five nights of hotel or flight and car rental for at least five nights and travel by 31 December 2023 to be eligible. This applies to solo travelers as well as holidays that have been booked.

Customers can collect Avios for holidays by converting Nectar points, shopping at the British Airways Avios eStore, and spending on the British Airways American Express credit card. Smart shoppers have more than 1,500 options to choose from so they can earn Avios for every purchase they make at www.shopping.ba.com.

Claire Bentley, British Airways Holidays' Managing Director, stated: "Now more than ever we want to give as many options as possible when it comes to booking that much needed holiday, so we are really excited to offer our Executive Club Members the ability to spend Avios on a package with British Airways Holidays.

"When people book with us, they can do so knowing that we take their holiday seriously. As well as a wide range of holidays to suit all travellers and budgets, we have a dedicated helpline available to customers at any point during their holiday, so they can switch off and relax knowing that they are in safe hands."

British Airways Executive Club members can use Avios for flight payment, part-pay, seat selection, upgrades, and onboard food and drink.

British Airways has recently extended its Reward Flight Saver program to all of its customers after receiving feedback. Customers can purchase a Reward Seat for a flat fee and a fixed Avios amount. You can fly to Europe for as low as PS1 and 18,500 Avios or to long-haul destinations such as New York from PS100 and 50,000 Avios.
