British Airways confirms changes to Avios system for Executive Club members

British Airways announced (18-Oct-2023) Executive Club members booking flights will collect Avios based on the cost of their ticket rather than the distance of their flight, effective 18-Oct-2023. Members will receive up to nine Avios per GBP1 spent on flights, as well as collecting on eligible ancillary purchases, including pre-paid selection, upgrades and excess baggage. The carrier projected the change will result in a 20% increase in the number of Avios issued. The new model will also apply to flights marketed by Iberia and American Airlines. [more - original PR]
