Avios Reward Flight Search: Connections, Calendar and Airline Comparison

The Avios.com reward flight search now shows connecting flights and compares British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus across 355 days. Our step-by-step guide, tested from Canada.

Avios has rebuilt its reward flight search on avios.com. It now shows itineraries with one connection, compares British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus in a single list and covers the full 355-day booking window. If you fly out of Montreal or Toronto, it is the fastest way to spot Avios award seats without checking each airline's site one date at a time.

We tested the Avios reward flight search on November 14, 2026, on several routes from Canada. This guide walks through every feature of the tool, the traps to watch for and the Canadian credit cards that earn Avios. To compare the whole market, see our ranking of the best credit cards in Canada.

What the Avios search tool does

In short, the tool answers one simple question: which days of the month have Avios seats on my route, and at what price?

  • Monthly calendar: outbound and return side by side, with day-by-day availability.
  • Connections: up to one stop, for example Montreal–London–Rome or Toronto–Dublin–Barcelona.
  • Three airlines compared: British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus in the same list.
  • 355 days ahead: the full booking window is visible.
  • Filters: by cabin and for nonstop flights only.
  • Free: all you need is an Avios account.

Avios reward flight search: where to find it

The tool sits on the Avios website, under the Spend Avios menu, then Search Reward Flights. Here is the direct link to the Avios Find Reward Flights page. The page is in English only.

You need a free Avios account linked to your program: British Airways Club, Iberia Club or AerClub. The selector at the top left of the page shows which program is active. The form then asks for five things:

  • Return or One Way: round trip or one way.
  • From and To: departure airport and destination. London can be entered as "London All Airports (LON)".
  • Travellers: the number of passengers, which changes the availability shown.
  • When: a travel month, not a specific date.
  • I have a Companion Voucher: an option reserved for certain UK cardholders, explained below.

If you have no destination in mind, the Explore destinations link offers ideas.

Find Reward Flights form on avios.com with departure, destination, travellers, month and Companion Voucher fields.

The monthly availability calendar

Results appear as two calendars side by side: outbound on the left, return on the right. Each date carries a symbol:

  • full circle: seats available;
  • half circle: limited availability;
  • greyed-out date: not enough seats for the number of travellers selected.

The arrows move from month to month, up to 355 days ahead. On the left, filters let you keep only certain cabins (Economy, Premium Economy, Business, First) or only nonstop flights.

Hover over a date to see the price

Hover over a date and a tooltip shows the number of flights, the cabins on offer and the starting price in Avios. For example, on May 12, 2027, the tool found 3 business class flights between Montreal and Rome, from 110,000 Avios plus taxes and fees.

Click to see each flight

Clicking the date opens the list of flights. Each line shows the flight numbers, the operating airline, the times, the total travel time, the connection airport and layover, the cabin, the seats left and the price in Avios. The price is per adult, before taxes and fees. The Select button starts the booking.

Connecting flights, the real novelty

Until now, the tool only showed nonstop flights. That was a problem for Canadian travellers: British Airways links Canada to London, but not to Rome, Barcelona or Athens. You had to search each segment separately.

The search now accepts up to one connection. You enter Montreal and Rome, and the tool lists itineraries via London Heathrow with the layover time. Likewise, from Toronto, Aer Lingus shows up via Dublin. If you prefer a nonstop flight, tick Show Direct only.

Two limits to keep in mind. First, only one connection is possible. Second, both flights must be operated by the same airline: the tool does not combine, for example, an Aer Lingus flight with an Iberia flight.

Compare British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus

This is the feature that matters most for your Avios balance. Each airline uses its own award chart, and the gap on the same route can be large. Here are a few prices we found on November 14, 2026.

Avios prices found on avios.com on November 14, 2026 (one way, per adult, before taxes and fees)
RouteAirline and connectionCabinPrice in Avios

Chicago → Barcelona (April 13, 2027)Iberia via MadridEconomy19,500
Chicago → Barcelona (April 13, 2027)Aer Lingus via DublinEconomy19,500

On Toronto–Barcelona, Aer Lingus via Dublin asks for half the Avios that British Airways charges via London, for a similar travel time. From Chicago, Iberia also appears via Madrid, at the same price as Aer Lingus.

One caution: the tool does not show taxes and fees. These vary by airline and route. Flights operated by British Airways often carry higher surcharges. Check the total amount at the booking step before you choose.

Companion Voucher: skip it in Canada

The I have a Companion Voucher box offers two vouchers tied to British Airways American Express cards issued in the United Kingdom:

  • the BA Amex credit card voucher, valid in economy only;
  • the Premium Plus card voucher, valid in every cabin and with access to extra seats.

When you tick a voucher, the price shown per person is cut in half, since the second ticket costs no Avios. These cards are not available in Canada: leave the option off, or the prices and availability shown will not apply to you.

Companion Voucher selection window on avios.com: BA Amex Credit Card voucher and Premium Plus voucher with extra availability.
Both vouchers in the tool are tied to cards issued in the United Kingdom. Screenshot taken on avios.com on November 14, 2026.

What the tool does not do yet

  • No booking on avios.com: the Select button sends you to the airline's website.
  • No taxes or surcharges shown: only the Avios price appears.
  • Three airlines only: British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus. No Qatar Airways, Finnair or oneworld partners.
  • One airline per itinerary: no Aer Lingus plus Iberia combination, for example.

The tool is useful, but it does not cover every way to use Avios. For an American Airlines, Japan Airlines or Qatar Airways ticket, follow our tutorials instead: book a British Airways award ticket with Avios, book an Iberia award ticket and book an Aer Lingus award ticket.

Booking after the search, step by step

  1. Log in to your Avios account and check which program is active.
  2. Run a monthly search with the right number of travellers.
  3. Filter the cabin you want and, if needed, nonstop flights only.
  4. Click a date and check the seats left on the first segment.
  5. Click Select: you are sent to the operating airline's website to complete the booking.
  6. Make sure your Avios sit in the right program. British Airways Club, Iberia Club and AerClub let you move Avios between them; our Avios tips for British Airways Club explain how.
  7. Check taxes, fees and change rules before confirming.

One tip: find the seat before you transfer points from a credit card. A transfer to an airline program cannot be reversed.

Earning Avios with a credit card in Canada

Three paths lead to Avios in Canada: converting RBC Avion points, transferring American Express Membership Rewards points, or earning Avios directly with a British Airways card. Our page of the best credit cards for earning Avios compares them in detail.

RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card and the 30% bonus

The RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card offers a welcome bonus of up to 70,000 Avion points for applications received by November 25, 2026. It is paid in three stages:

  • 35,000 points: upon approval of the application.
  • 20,000 points: after $5,000 in purchases in the first six months.
  • 15,000 points: on the first account anniversary.

In normal times, 1,000 Avion points convert to 1,000 Avios. Until November 30, 2026, RBC adds a 30% bonus on conversions to British Airways Club. So 15,000 Avion points become 19,500 Avios, exactly the price of a one-way Toronto–Barcelona economy flight on Aer Lingus found above.

American Express Membership Rewards cards

American Express Membership Rewards points transfer to British Airways Club at 1 point to 1 Avios. For everyday spending, the Cobalt is the best card in Canada to earn Avios: it earns 5 points per dollar on groceries, restaurants and food delivery, or up to 5 Avios per dollar, on up to $2,500 in combined monthly spending (1 point per dollar after that). Three Canadian cards earn these points:

Membership Rewards also transfers to other airline and hotel programs, so you keep flexibility until you book.

RBC British Airways Visa Infinite

The RBC British Airways Visa Infinite earns Avios directly in your British Airways Club account, with no conversion step. Its welcome offer gives 50,000 Avios after $6,000 in purchases in the first three months.

Conclusion

The new avios.com tool changes how you search for award flights. On one screen, you see a full month of availability, the connections and the price gap between British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus. For Canadian travellers, routing via Dublin or Madrid can cut the Avios cost in half. Just check the taxes and the first segment before you transfer your points.

If you hold RBC Avion points, the 30% bonus to British Airways Club ends on November 30, 2026. All the details are in our article on the RBC Avion to Avios conversion bonus.

1 This offer only applies to new applications for an RBC Avion Visa Infinite or RBC Avion Visa Platinum credit card (each, an “Eligible Credit Card”) received between “August 13, 2026” and “November 25, 2026” (“Offer Period”) and approved by Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”) subject to the conditions below. Additional cardholders(s) (co-applicant and authorized user(s)) on the Eligible Credit Card account, as well as existing cardholders on any RBC Royal Bank personal credit card account transferring to an Eligible Credit Card account during the Offer Period, are not eligible for the offer.

35,000 welcome Avion points (“Welcome Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty (60) days after your application has been approved, provided that your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Welcome points are credited to your account, “good standing” meaning that your Eligible Credit Card account must not be past due for more than two (2) consecutive credit card account statement periods, closed, charged off or in credit revoked status.

You will receive 20,000 bonus Avion points (“Bonus Points”) if a total of $5,000 or more (“Qualifying Transaction Amount”) in qualifying net purchases and/or pre-authorized bill payment transactions (“Qualifying Transactions”) are posted to your Eligible Credit Card account within the first six (6) months from your Eligible Credit Card account opening date (“Period”). The Bonus Points will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty days (60) after you reach $5,000 in Qualifying Transactions, provided your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Bonus Points are credited to your account.

Qualifying Transactions exclude cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges and fees. Credits for returns and adjustments posted to your Eligible Credit Card account during the Period will reduce the amount of your Qualifying Transactions. The Qualifying Transaction Amount is based on the transaction posting date of each Qualifying Transaction, not the transaction date. This means that transactions that take place prior to the last day of the Period will not be considered for the Qualifying Transaction Amount if they have not yet been posted or processed by the merchant, the payment network (Visa) or Royal Bank by the last day of the Period.

15,000 additional Avion points (“Anniversary Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within twelve (12) to sixteen (16) weeks after the one- year anniversary of your account opening, provided that your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Anniversary Points are credited to your account.

If you close or change your Eligible Credit Card Account for another type of RBC Royal Bank credit card before the Welcome Points, the Bonus Points and/or the Anniversary Points have been credited to your account, you may lose the benefit of this offer. This offer may not be combined or used in conjunction with any other offer. Royal Bank reserves the right to cancel, modify or withdraw this offer at any time without notice, even after your application has been approved, including if we suspect that you may be manipulating or abusing it, or engaging in any suspicious or fraudulent activity, as determined by Royal Bank in its sole discretion. For complete terms and conditions that apply to the Avion Rewards Program, please visit www.avionrewards.com or call 1-800-769-2512.

^Point redemptions for flights under the Air Travel Redemption Schedule start at 7,500 points for a short-haul one-way Economy Class flight priced at no more than $175 (and start at 15,000 points for a short-haul round-trip Economy Class flight priced at no more than $350). The traveller is responsible for all applicable taxes, administration fees and surcharges. To learn more, including guidelines regarding redeeming points for a Business Class flight, visit www.avionrewards.com/travel/.

2 Avion points are earned on qualifying net purchases only; they are not earned on cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant) interest charges or fees, and credits for returns and adjustments will reduce or cancel the points earned by the amounts originally charged.

4 To participate in this offer, you must have an RBC debit card or a credit card which is issued by Royal Bank of Canada (excluding RBC commercial credit cards) (“RBC Card”). RBC business clients will only be able to link up to two (2) RBC business credit cards and one (1) RBC business debit card to a Petro-Points card.

You must be enrolled in RBC Online Banking or the RBC Mobile app in order to link your RBC Card to your Petro-Points card. Card linking may take up to 2 business days to process before savings and bonus points can be applied to purchases. A linked RBC Card means an RBC Card linked to a Petro-Points Account. Your linked RBC Card acts as your Petro-Points card. You will automatically earn Petro-Points when you pay for qualifying purchases with your linked RBC Card at Petro-Canada locations and you do not need to swipe your Petro-Points card before you pay. You can redeem your Petro-Points at Petro-Canada using your linked RBC Card. Each time you use your linked RBC Card to purchase any grade of gasoline, or diesel, at a Petro-Canada location, you will save three cents ($0.03) per litre at the time of the transaction.

6 Each time you use your linked Eligible Avion Rewards Credit Card to pay for purchases at a Petro-Canada Location, you will earn a bonus of twenty percent (20%) more Avion points than you normally earn for every $1 in purchases in accordance with the Avion Rewards Terms and Conditions. Please allow up to ninety (90) days from the date the transaction is posted on your credit card statement for the bonus points to be deposited into Avion Rewards account. Authorized Users are excluded from earning Avion points bonus.

Even though some merchants may sell travel products/services, purchases made at these locations may not necessarily qualify for the 1.25 Avion points per dollar if the merchant is not classified with a “travel” MCC. Also, merchants that are not classified by a “travel” MCC may be located on the premises of merchants that are classified with a “travel” MCC, and purchases made at these locations may not qualify for this added benefit. For more details, please refer to the Avion Rewards Terms and Conditions at: https://www.avionrewards.com/terms-and-conditions/index.html

14 The term “redeem” means using your Be Well points to pay, or partially pay, for eligible purchases using your Be Well card at participating Rexall locations according to the instructions provided by the cashier, the point-of-sale terminal or any other payment processing device. You can redeem the Be Well points you earn for eligible purchases—see section 5 of the Be Well terms (available at https://www.letsbewell.ca/terms-conditions)—or for another purpose that we may provide from time to time.

You must have joined the Be Well program and registered your Be Well card, or otherwise called customer service, to redeem Be Well points. Any Be Well points earned on a Be Well card will remain the property of the Be Well administrator until the enrollment and registration process is complete.

You must redeem a minimum of 25,000 Be Well points at any time, which are worth $10. Be Well points can be redeemed in $10 increments, up to a maximum of $200 (500,000 Be Well points) in a single transaction. A maximum of 500,000 Be Well points can be redeemed within a 24-hour period.

In Ontario and British Columbia, Be Well points cannot be redeemed for prescription drugs. As the laws of each province and territory may change from time to time, you are encouraged to consult your pharmacist for more information in this regard.

Be Well points you earn when you make a purchase cannot be redeemed immediately for that same purchase. They can only be redeemed for a future eligible purchase that must be made at least 12 hours after earning those Be Well points.

Is the Avios reward flight search tool free?

Yes. The search is free on avios.com. All you need is a free Avios account linked to British Airways Club, Iberia Club or AerClub. You only pay in Avios, plus taxes and fees, when you book on the airline's website. To earn your first Avios, see our Avios tips for British Airways Club.

Which airlines does the tool show?

The tool only shows British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus, the three IAG airlines that share the same booking system. Qatar Airways and Finnair also use Avios, but they do not appear. oneworld partners such as American Airlines or Japan Airlines are not included either. For those flights, follow our tutorial to book an award ticket with Avios.

Can you book directly on avios.com?

No. The Select button sends you to the operating airline's website: British Airways, Iberia or Aer Lingus. The booking and the payment of taxes happen there. Your Avios must therefore sit in that airline's program. If needed, move them between British Airways Club, Iberia Club and AerClub before booking.

Why is the same route cheaper with Aer Lingus or Iberia?

Each airline sets its own Avios award chart. On November 14, 2026, a one-way Toronto–Barcelona economy flight cost 19,500 Avios with Aer Lingus via Dublin, versus 40,500 Avios with British Airways via London. Taxes also differ between airlines. Compare the total before choosing, and read our guide to transferring RBC Avion points.

Does the Companion Voucher work with a Canadian card?

No. The two vouchers offered in the tool come from British Airways American Express cards issued in the United Kingdom. The RBC British Airways Visa Infinite does not give access to these vouchers in the tool. Leave the option off to see prices and availability that match your situation.

How far ahead can you search for an award flight?

The tool covers the full booking window of 355 days. The last weeks of that window are visible, which helps you book as soon as seats open on popular routes. Business class seats often go quickly: plan your search early and keep Avios ready.

What is the fastest way to earn Avios in Canada?

The RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card, the American Express Membership Rewards cards and the RBC British Airways Visa Infinite are the three main options. For everyday spending, the Cobalt pays the most: up to 5 Avios per dollar on groceries and restaurants. Until November 30, 2026, converting RBC Avion points to British Airways Club earns a 30% bonus.
