Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Forums Payment cards Barclaycard Avios 135k points + 2 companion + 2 upgrades – what to do!?

  • 1 post

    Hey I have accrued 135k avios, and have two Amex companion vouchers and 2 Ba cabin upgrade vouchers.

    I’d like to go business class long haul somewhere next July for my 40th – is this possible?

    Plus another trip to Greece business at some point next year too.

    Just trying to work out the best way to go about it!

    I’ll be flying from London.

    Start with the “how many avios do I need” article which will give you an indication of the avios requirements for all routes. There will be come variation to the avios needed if you use more avios and less cash or fewer avios and more cash.

    Second have a much more defined idea of where you want to go to. “Somewhere” is far too vague.

    If “BA cabin upgrade vouchers” = Barclays ones then you cant use them on the same booking as a 2-4-1

    You’ve really got more vouchers than you’ve got avios for unless you’ve got more avios earning opportunities. The Barclays voucher especially is quite inflexible as you can’t change the number of avios required – using it for a return to Greece would cost you around 30,000 avios which is a sizeable chunk of your balance.
