If you've been eagerly ticking off locations on your global travel map (and gathering those valuable British Airways Avios while you're at it), we've got exciting news. British Airways is injecting more fuel into their Avios-only flights programme.
Remember when the airline first announced their Avios-only BA reward flights where every single seat was up for grabs for BA Club Members? The inaugural destinations were the sun-drenched beaches of Sharm El Sheikh and the snow-capped mountains of Geneva. The response was phenomenal, and every single seat was snapped up quicker than you can say "Bon Voyage," proving that Avios enthusiasts were all aboard for this adventure.
As they say, "The sequel is always bigger," and BA seems to have taken this to heart. Our favourite bird in the sky has decided to spread its wings wider, adding not one, not two, but five more round-trip journeys to their Avios-only flights roster. These exclusive reward seats will be lighting up the runway throughout 2023 and 2024, giving you even more opportunities to jet off to your dream destinations.
The New Avios-Only Flights
Time to whip out that travel itinerary as we're about to reveal the new British Airway Avios-only flights that will be cruising down the runway soon.

Or, if you're a city explorer, delve into the rich history of Barcelona or experience the cosmopolitan chic vibes of Nice. Alternatively, say 'Hola!' to Tenerife and enjoy its spectacular beaches and vibrant nightlife.
Now, remember the beauty of these flights - 100% of the seats are exclusively available to our esteemed Club Members as BA reward flights. What does that mean for you? Well, more chances to get where you want to go, and more adventures to tick off your bucket list.
