The Avios loyalty scheme

Through membership of British Airways' Executive Club, frequent flyers can earn Avios (formerly BA Miles), which are redeemable for UK and international flights with BA and its partner airlines. Avios can also be earned on other travel-related activities such as hotel stays, car parking and foreign exchange.

Avios and other benefits can also be earned on BA's range of affinity credit cards, offered in partnership with American Express.

The British Airways affinity credit cards

BA, via its partnership with Amex, offers a choice of two credit cards for Executive Club members. Each offers the opportunity not only to earn Avios, but also to qualify for one free, matching ticket per year for a companion when you redeem your Avios on a British Airways flight.
