Changes to the British Airways Executive Club

British Airways is making a number of changes to its loyalty programme, the Executive Club from the 28th April 2015. The changes will make it easier for customers to spend Avios on reward flights. The scheme will also become more rewarding for those who have spent more on their flights.

  • British Airways is increasing the number of seats available for booking with Avios loyalty points and reducing the points needed for off-peak travel on some routes
  • The more flexible your ticket the more Avios you will earn, with First or Business class earning 300% on a fully flexible and changeable ticket
  • Off-peak pricing will be introduced for approximately two thirds of the year, including many weekends and all Tuesdays and Wednesdays, meaning fewer Avios will be required to book a seat
  • Gold Members continue to earn a 100% tier bonus, Silver Members earn a 50% tier bonus and Bronze Members will continue to earn a 25% tier bonus
