How many tier points do you earn from a British Airways flight?
We haven’t updated our tier point calculator since before the pandemic so it was time for a refresh.
It lists every British Airways flight from London together with the tier points that you will earn in British Airways Executive Club.
Can’t you do this on the BA website?
Not in a full list, no.
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.
The official British Airways tier point calcuator 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 British Airways routes’ – albeit we need to update this in light of the recent long haul changes.
How many British Airways tier points do I earn flying to ….?
The list below calculates the tier points you earn for British Airways flights from London.
The tier points shown are for a one-way flight.
For simplicity we have shown all travel classes although an increasing number of long-haul routes do not have First Class.
To earn British Airways Executive Club status, you need to earn:
- 300 tier points in a membership year for Bronze
- 600 tier points in a membership year for Silver
- 1,500 tier points in a membership year for Gold
This chart is ONLY for direct British Airways flghts. 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 – the ultra-long Qantas flight from Heathrow to Perth shows as 240 tier points each-way).
You cannot earn status purely from partner flights. You also need four one-way cash flights on British Airways or Iberia, or two for Bronze, in your membership year.
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)
