British Airways announces major change to its Avios rewards system

British Airways is updating its loyalty points system at the end of November, allowing British Airways Club members booking a package with British Airways Holidays to earn six Avios for every £1 spent on the total package price.
Previously, the lead booker collected bonus Avios for every £1 spent while other travellers earned only on the flight portion; the new system calculates points on the full booking value and divides them equally between all travellers.
A package holiday to Crete would allow each traveller to collect 11,316 Avios; Club members can now collect their individual share or pool Avios together through a Household Account for joint redemption.
British Airways has said the change is making it "simpler" for customers to understand how many Avios they can collect on bookings, with the program designed to be "simpler and more rewarding."
Managing Director Andrew Flintham stated the goal is to create a compelling offer for Club members, as customers can use Avios to reduce the cost of another holiday, contribute towards a future flight, or make an upgrade possible.
