This is how you can get an extra 10,000 Avios points with British Airways this month – UK Times

British Airways Holidays has launched a short-term offer for frequent flyers, allowing them to earn up to 10,000 bonus Avios points this month.

Travellers who book a holiday package of over five nights can collect additional Avios on top of the points they would already gain from a booking.

Holidays to all destinations for travel taken between now and 18 December will be valid for the rewards offer.

Eligible holiday packages include flight and hotel, or flight and car combinations.

The promotion will run for holidaymakers who register as members of The British Airways Club from 9 April to midnight on 20 April.

Avios points are the loyalty currency of British Airways and can be collected on flight and hotel bookings.

The airline allows members to spend Avios on flights and hotel discounts once earned.

According to British Airways Holidays, 82 per cent of customers are “looking for smarter ways to stretch their rewards”.

In December, BA confirmed it would increase fares available to members of its Avios loyalty scheme, citing Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ flight tax rise as a motivation behind the decision.

As of 15 December, frequent fliers using Avios points are spending more to travel.

While a specific number has not been mentioned, points are usually estimated to be worth around one pence. Customers travelling one-way from London to Geneva in standard class will see a rise from 9,250 points plus a 50p charge to 10,000 points plus a £1 charge, for example.

“Our Reward Flight Saver flights continue to offer our members incredible value, but a combination of factors including air passenger duty, increased third-party charges, changing market conditions, and ongoing inflation, has left us with no choice but to increase our prices,” a spokesperson for British Airways told The Independent.
