How many Avios do I need to fly to ….?

How many British Airways Avios points do you need to fly to a particular city?

It is surprisingly tricky to find out how many Avios are required for a particular route.  You need to go to ba.com, track down the ‘Avios Spending Calculator’ page and then type in your destination and preferred travel class.  It is a bit of a drag.

This table should simplify the process.  It lists BA destinations alphabetically with pricing to / from London.  Prices are one-way.

How does the Avios pricing table work?

Prices are shown separately for Off Peak and Peak dates.  The 2021 off peak and peak Avios calendar for British Airways flights is in this HFP article.

All routes in Zone 4+ have World Traveller Plus and First Class prices included, although in reality not all of these routes currently have First.

If you are reading this on a mobile phone, the table is likely to look a mess.  I recommend you use a desktop or tablet instead.

This article was created pre-coronavirus

This table has been put together manually but is as accurate as we could make it.

Since it was published in January 2019, coronavirus has seen British Airways suspend or permanently close many routes.  Just because a route is listed below it is no guarantee that it will operate in 2021.

You may see lower Avios prices than our table quotes

During 2020, British Airways started to experiment with an additional pricing option.  It is giving you the choice of using more Avios but asking for less cash on top.  On short haul, you can see ‘taxes’ figures of as little as 50p.

This is generally a poor deal.  In most cases, you will maximise value by choosing the Avios option which matches the price shown in our table.

If you are using a British Airways American Express 2-4-1 voucher, you will not see these options.  The only Avios price you will be quoted is the one in the table.

What do the definitions mean?

• ET/WT = Euro Traveller / World Traveller (short-haul economy and long-haul economy)
• WTP = World Traveller Plus (long-haul premium economy)
• CE/CW = Club Europe / Club World (short-haul business and long-haul business)
