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.

I 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 the ‘list of Avios redemption pricing for all BA routes’ that I published on Wednesday.

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 I 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.

I have added a link to this tier point calculator article to the site footer, on desktop and tablet, so it can be accessed easily.

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.

Thanks, I was afraid that would be the answer. Was contemplating a short trip prior to an already intended first class holiday to Mauritius, hoping I would be able to use the silver status for the holiday.

  No just as with accruing Avios those are only done after the flight is flown. However I’d earned enough on longhaul outbound to add to my existing tier points so I was due to be upgraded – and got upgraded by phoning as above, before I got on the plane for the return trip.
  
  However if you are flying First Class @Qwerty Bertie then you would get many of the status benefits anyway such as access to lounges on your trip due to your travel class and you won’t need status, and luggage allowance in First is quite reasonable too.

    That’s a very good point, thank you. Given how infrequently I fly, it’s probably better to keep putting up with the occasional economy flight without status (but with Amex granted PP) and then look out for first or business class deals for the family, redeeming points whenever possible.

I took my first flight with BA since reaching Gold status for the first time a few days. I was surprised no one from the crew said anything. When I reached bronze status they congratulated me on my first flight following reaching it. Same with Silver. I was looking forward to seeing if I got a special thank you or congratulations, but instead I got nothing whatsoever

  It is not a compulsory part of the CSDs job to do a welcome to Golds – whether newly minted or long standing – but a ‘if you get time’ task and some manage to find the time to either do it themselves or brief the other CC to do it and others don’t.
  
  It also depends on the change being noted on the CSDs iPad. And it can take time for recent status changes to filter through the BA systems.

Why not remove the extra WTP/CW/F columns as Lowest and Flexible earns the same for each class.

  This is how ba.com shows them, so we copied their layout.

Thank you for this.

This is perhaps a daft question, but I’m struggling to find the fare class on the not so ‘new and improved’ booking platform as you once could. Is this still available elsewhere and I’m simply blind?
