Avios, British Airways Executive Club Airline Reward Program Miles, can save you a lot of money, provided you use them wisely!<\/p>\n

\n\n<\/p>\n

Foreword: British Airways Executive Club Program Reminder<\/h2>\n

The British Airways Executive Club program allows you to use your Avios miles in exchange for flight rewards on the Oneworld Alliance airlines.<\/p>\n

How much does a flight reward cost in Avios miles?<\/h3>\n

Unlike other programs such as Aeroplan<\/a>, there is no destination-based reward structure. It’s a distance-based program<\/strong>: the further you travel, the more Avios miles you’ll need to earn a flight reward. And the more connections you make, the more miles you’ll use. This calculator is available to<\/a> calculate the number of Avios miles required.<\/p>\n

The zones correspond to a distance travelled between your origin and the destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Complex to use Avios miles in North America<\/h3>\n

A few years ago, Avios miles had a real advantage in North America. Zone 1 destinations cost only 4,500 Avios one-way and taxes were not high. This was the case of a flight between Montreal and New York for example. However, British Airways Executive Club has modified its North American award charter<\/a> to bring it up to the level of the competition (like Aeroplans): 7,500 miles for the same flights in Zone 1.<\/p>\n
