British Airways Customers to Earn Avios on Ancillary Purchases

British Airways has announced that the way customers collect Avios will be updated from 18 October 2023, including the ability to collect Avios on ancillary purchases for the first time.

The update means that customers will soon be able to collect Avios when purchasing additional items such as upgrades, pre-paid seat selection and excess baggage, either in advance or at the airport.

The amount of Avios collected per flight will be based on the amount paid rather than distance travelled, in a more consistent and clearer approach.

Members booking flights from 18 October 2023 will collect the following Avios depending on their Tier status:

• Blue members will receive 6 Avios per qualifying* £1 spent

• Bronze members will receive 7 Avios per qualifying £1 spent

• Silver members will receive 8 Avios per qualifying £1 spent

• Gold members will receive 9 Avios per qualifying £1 spent

This new model will also apply to flights marketed by Iberia.

The update to the new collection model is the latest change to the Executive Club this year to keep improving the loyalty programme for Members.

Recently, British Airways revealed a series of Avios-Only flights, with 100% of seats made exclusively available to Members as Reward Seats. The first Avios-Only flight to Sharm El Sheikh sold out within 24 hours.

In addition to flights, members can collect Avios in everyday life, including spending on the British Airways American Express Credit Card, travelling with Uber, converting Nectar points and shopping on the British Airways Avios eStore.

With more than 1,500 outlets to select from, savvy shoppers can earn Avios from any purchase that they make when visiting www.shopping.ba.com.
