British Airways is running a promotion that will let you earn double base Avios on flights through December 31, 2017. This is the first double Avios promotion for flying this year, with previous British Airways double Avios promotions, being for shopping through their online portal. FYI, this promotion is not valid for Executive Club members based in the US, Mexico, Canada, or South Africa.
Key Terms

- Promo is for travel through December 31, 2017 – All flight segments must be completed by this date

Which Flights Qualify for the Promo

Maximizing The Offer
If you are a frequent flyer and will be taking 8 or more eligible flights you need to take some steps to maximize your earnings from the offer as you will only earn on the first eight flight segments. The way to maximize your earnings is to focus your next eligible flights with British Airways on long-haul routes only; if you have short-haul flights in between the long-haul ones consider switching them to another airline, or crediting them to another program. Your next eight eligible flights should be the longest you can make them.
Overall
If you collect Avios and don’t live in an excluded territory, this promotion is a great way to boost your Avios earnings for the next few months.
