Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Forums Frequent flyer programs British Airways Club No Avios return flight availability on BA app. None at all!!!

  • 8 posts

    Has anyone else noticed that there are no return Avios flights to Asia, Caribbean or USA, in fact from anywhere! And when I say none I mean none. Zero. Nada. Ever. Effectively you can travel from the UK with Avios, but you can’t get back with Avios.
    Did I miss something or can anyone throw any light on this.

    There are several threads about this already on the BA board.

    Isn’t this the BA board? I searched before I posted. Please direct me correctly so I can read about whatever is going on. Thank you

    They’re there, you just have to search by date. Also, bizarrely, SeatSpy seems to be more accurate than ba.com!

    The Reward Flight Finder feature in the BA app is broken and does not show returns.

    It DOES show returns if you search from them on their own as a one way.

    I use Reward Flight Finder or Seat Spy to find Business Companion Voucher seats for the two of us.

    If it’s a route with which I am familiar, I just book the outbound. Then search for the inbound from 355 days before the required date. Rarely have a problem.

    If it’s a route with which I am not familiar, I search for any inbound dates to see general availability on a daily basis to decide if a suitable return is going to be likely. I did this recently when looking for a LON SIN and a HKG LON a month later. No problem.

    You should be aware that BA have had a lot of problems with their systems for reward flights recently.
