British Airways Avios are a popular way for frequent flyers to book award travel — both for travel within North America<\/a> and overseas. Travelers have plenty of ways to earn Avios<\/a>. But if a friend or family member's Avios balance still comes up short, you might wonder about sharing Avios with their British Airways Executive Club account.<\/p>\n

That's possible to do. However, British Airways charges a fee for sharing Avios with another Executive Club member. That fee is only waived for Executive Club Gold members.<\/p>\n

The good news: British Airways recently slashed these Avios transfer fees by up to 90%. Here's what this means for travelers wanting to move Avios between accounts.<\/p>\n

Sharing Avios With British Airways Executive Club Members<\/span><\/h2>\n

Like most major frequent flyer programs, British Airways lets members share Avios with other members. If a friend or family member needs additional Avios, you can transfer your spare Avios to their Executive Club account. However, British Airways will charge you a fee for doing so.<\/p>\n

In the past, Executive Club members would have to pay up to \u00a3175 (~US$210) in sharing fees to transfer Avios between accounts. While high transfer fees are common practice across major frequent flyer programs, these fees obviously cut into the value you get from these Avios.<\/p>\n

Luckily, British Airways recently slashed these transfer fees.<\/p>\n

Newly Reduced British Airways Avios Sharing Fees<\/span><\/h3>\n

In a change first caught by Head for Points<\/a>, British Airways reduced the fees associated with sharing Avios by up to 90%.<\/p>\n

Rather than the previous schedule of fees, British Airways Executive Club now charges a flat fee for transferring anywhere between 1,000 and 27,000 Avios. The fee for sharing Avios depends on where your account is registered:<\/p>\n
