How many tier points do you earn from a British Airways flight?
This article is HFP’s own British Airways tier point calculator! It lists every British Airways flight from London together with the tier points that you will earn in British Airways Executive Club.
If you want to know how many tier points you earn for a particular British Airways flight, there is no official list. You need to go to ba.com and use the BA Tier Point Calculator page, route by route.
It isn’t ideal, especially if you want to plan a trip to maximise your tier point earning. You cannot, for example, easily find which Club Europe routes earn 160 tier points for a return trip instead of the usual 80 tier points.
We have created this table as a one-stop reference – our own Head for Points British Airways tier point calculator. It is a sister resource to our ‘list of Avios redemption pricing for all BA routes’.
The list below calculates the tier points you earn for every British Airways flight from London. The tier points shown are for a one-way flight. For simplicity we have shown all travel classes although some long-haul routes do not have First Class.
Remember that Bronze requires 300 tier points, Silver requires 600 tier points and Gold requires 1,500 tier points. Tier point earning for partner airlines works slightly differently – flights under 2,000 miles are treated as short-haul (40 tier points each-way in Business) and the remainder as long-haul (140 or 160 tier points each-way in Business). You cannot earn status purely from partner flights – you also need four cash flights BA flights, or two for Bronze, in your membership year.
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.
Key:
- 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)
If you want to download this data so you can manipulate the columns as you want, you can. This makes it easy, for example, to see which Club Europe routes are in the 160 tier points return band, or which Club World routes are in the higher 320 tier points return band.
