This is our third ‘Avios availability notice’ today, following some shuffling of the British Airways timetables.
As we covered in another article, flights to Turks & Caicos will now operate as a tag to the Heathrow to Nassau service. This replaces the previous tag to the Gatwick to Antigua service. These flights are fully open for Avios.
We now know what is replacing Turks & Caicos as an Antigua tag on the Sunday – Grenada.

From the start of the Winter timetable at the end of October, there will be one weekly flight to Grenada, on a Sunday. Your aircraft will stop in Antigua on the way.
Even though the route is a tag to the Antigua flight, British Airways has opened up full Avios availability all the way through (London Gatwick to Antigua to Grenada).
The outbound flight leaves Gatwick at 09.30, landing in Grenada at 16.35. The return leaves at 18.05, landing in Gatwick at 08.25.
As this is a Gatwick service, you will be getting the old-style Club World seat.
Here is the availability for two Club World seats as at 7.45pm on Thursday, via seatspy.com. Obviously seats are available in World Traveller Plus and Economy too.
Outbound flights are on the left, inbound on the right.
Club World is 150,000 Avios per person peak and 125,000 Avios per person, return, off peak. Taxes are around £660 in Business.
Happy holidays!
