British Airways has rolled out a new promotion offering double Avios for Executive Club members on flights and holiday bookings across Europe.
The promotion, available for a limited time, presents an opportunity for travellers to boost their Avios balance while planning their next getaway.
To take advantage of the offer, Executive Club members must pre-register for the promotion and make their bookings by April 24th. Travel must be completed before the end of June to qualify for double Avios earnings.
Under the promotion, members will earn two Avios for every £1 spent on hotels or car hire when booking a package holiday through British Airways Holidays, doubling the usual rate of one Avios per £1 spent. Additionally, Avios earned on flights will be doubled during the promotional period, based on the member’s Executive Club status.
Since transitioning to a spend-based Avios system last October, Executive Club members collect between six and nine Avios per qualifying £1 spent on flights. During the promotional period, this earning rate increases to between 12 and 18 Avios per £1 spent, providing an attractive incentive for travelers.
It’s important to note that the double Avios offer applies to up to ten qualifying flights, defined as “a single leg of a journey on a British Airways-marketed flight departing from the UK and landing in a domestic or European location.” Additionally, eligible extras such as pre-paid seats, bags, or upgrades are also eligible for double Avios accrual.
With the travel industry gradually recovering from the impact of the pandemic, initiatives like the double Avios promotion serve as a welcome opportunity for travelers to maximize their rewards while planning their trips with British Airways. Executive Club members are encouraged to take advantage of this offer to earn more Avios on their qualifying spend and enhance their travel experiences.
