Overview of the deal

Airline: British Airways

Routes: From the U.K. to the U.S., covering both one-way and round-trip flights, as long as the journey starts in the U.K.

Booking Instructions: To qualify for the bonus, you must

• Join the British Airways Executive Club
• Sign up for the offer prior to making your reservation

Booking Period: By August 16, 2024

Travel Period: Before June 25, 2025

Each Executive Club member can earn the bonus on up to 10 eligible flights. After your journey, the bonus will be added to the base Avios you earned from your ticket. For those who booked a British Airways Holidays package, the base Avios will be credited within six weeks of the booking, while the bonus Avios will follow within eight weeks.

What is the potential Avios earnings?

The total Avios you can earn will vary based on the cash price of your flights.

The bonus will be calculated based on the flight cost, along with seat and baggage fees, excluding any taxes or surcharges.

As a reference, here's how much you would earn (depending on your status) for every 1 British pound ($1.28) spent.

When booking a British Airways Holidays package, you'll also earn 2 Avios for every pound spent on the entire package, in addition to the double Avios from your flight.

Typically, flights earn Avios based on the ticket price, but with a British Airways Holidays package, you earn Avios according to the airline's previous awards structure, which considers distance traveled, fare class, and your Executive Club status. This is important to remember when planning your journey, as you might earn more bonus Avios with a package compared to just a flight.

Additionally, you can also earn double Tier Points for eligible British Airways Holidays bookings, which can further enhance the value of this deal and assist you in achieving a higher elite status.

What qualifies as a valid flight or BA Holiday?

To be eligible for the bonus, your flight must be operated by British Airways and have a British Airways flight number. Codeshare and partner flights are not eligible.

Eligible flights must depart from the U.K. and arrive at a U.S. destination. They can be booked as one-way, round-trip, or multi-trip, or included in a qualifying British Airways Holidays package. Each segment will earn the bonus.

For instance, a one-way journey from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York would qualify as an eligible flight. Likewise, a round trip from London to New York and back would count as two qualifying flights.

Qualifying British Airways Holidays packages can include any mix of flight and hotel, flight and car, or a combination of flight, hotel, and car. Bookings must be made on the British Airways website; hotel or car reservations made without a flight will not qualify. Your booking will not be valid if made through an external site, including British Airways hotel partners.
