British Airways releases several Avios-only flights every year. Unfortunately, there is no specific date or route when BA releases these awards, so you have to keep your eyes peeled. However, they can be a great option for maximizing your Avios use if you are lucky enough to snag a seat.
The latest batch was released this month and covers routes between London Heathrow, Malaga, and Marrakech. One thing to keep in mind is that these awards will be snapped up quickly, so you may want to book quickly. Here's how.

- American Express Membership Rewards transfer at a ratio of 1:1, with a minimum transfer of 1,000 points, and Amex runs regular transfer bonuses.
- Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer at a ratio of 1:1, with a minimum transfer of 1,000 points.

The above list is by no means exhaustive, and you can transfer a wide variety of hotel points to BA.
If those options don't work for you, BA shares its Avios currency with Iberia, Aer Lingus, Finnair, and Qatar Airways. What's more, you can transfer Avios between programs instantly and at no cost. You can check out our complete guide on how to move your Avios between programs.
Our Take
On the one hand, an award-only flight is great news as it means hundreds of available award seats. However, These seats are only useful if you want to travel to the particular destination on offer on the particular dates British Airways is offering these flights.
This time around, British Airways included two destinations to some appealing destinations. However, not all travelers can make the limited dates work with their travel schedule.
If you're considering booking one of these new awards, make sure to crunch the numbers based on your Avios balance and travel goals to ensure you get the biggest bang for your Avios.
