British Airways 2017 Double Avios Promotion

Key Terms

  • You must register for the promotion
  • Promo is for travel through December 31, 2017 – All flight segments must be completed by this date
  • Promo is not valid for British Airways Executive Club members registered in the USA, Canada, Mexico, and South Africa.

  • Flights from Paris to New York under Open skies (British Airways operated)

The following flights Do NOT qualify for the double Avios offer

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.
