Reality: We want you to spend your Avios.

We're proud to be the chosen loyalty currency of seven airlines and you are able to spend your Avios on 30 airlines. We have helped thousands of people travel the world.

Giving members more ways to use their Avios is a priority for us, so we're continually expanding where they can be spent. Alongside Reward Flights, you can also use Avios for:

British Airways flies to more than 200 destinations worldwide, but it's not your only option when it comes to booking flights with Avios.

Each of those airlines have their own availability, independent of British Airways.

To take advantage you need to join either Iberia Club or AerClub and move your Avios between your airline loyalty accounts. It's completely free and gives your more chances to find a Reward Flight you want.

You can also use Avios to part pay for flights with our airline partners. Unlike Reward Flights – which is a set Avios price on a set number of seats – part pay is available on almost every seat, giving you more choices when planning your trip.

Reward Flights with British Airways are popular, particularly on well-known long-haul routes like Tokyo and Sydney, so if you can't find what you're looking for it's definitely worth checking partner airlines and exploring part-pay as an option to get you where you want to go.

Reality: You don't need a huge balance before you can start getting value from your Avios.

You can use as little as 1,000 Avios to save money on flights booked with cash as the main payment method.

You can also spend Avios on:

Depending on what you're looking for, using Avios for part payment or other travel extras can be an easy way to start getting value from your balance without waiting until you've collected a huge balance.

There isn't a single "best" way to spend your Avios.

The best way for you depends on where you're travelling, the experience you're looking for, how many Avios you have and what matters most to you.

For some trips, that might be a Reward Flight booked well in advance. For others, using Avios towards a hotel, car hire or part payment could help reduce the overall cost of your holiday.

The more you understand the different ways to spend your Avios, the easier it becomes to choose the option that works best for you.
