The weather has turned, and it's already too cold for me. I'm not built for winter. I need a holiday. Conveniently (for me at least), BA Holidays has brought back its Pay with Avios boost. Until 23:59 on Tuesday 13 October, British Airways Club members get 33% more value from their Avios when they use them as part payment on a package. This time the offer is for holidays between 5 January and 30 September 2027. If you were hoping to knock some money off using Avios for a Chri

It's Wednesday 7th October. We should be getting excited for Halloween, or enjoying a crisp Autumn day. Instead, we're all waking up depressed and angry because today is the day that the changes to the British Airways Premium Plus American Express Card have officially kicked in. I am being over-dramatic here as I am often want to do, but I think it is warranted. We told you this was coming back in July, but now it's real. If you skipped the July warnings, or you just want the

I love it when airlines expand, grow and shake up what they do. So when British Airways announced new First Class suites and a full refresh for its dated A380s, I was thrilled. Sorry to say it, A380, I adore you, but the BA interior has been looking rough for a while. If you're curious, here's my experience in World Traveller and World Traveller Plus earlier this year. Well, BA has now launched the cabin in person, and it has shown off the new seats going into every cabin, fr

If you've been sitting on the fence about applying for either the British Airways Premium Plus American Express, or the free British Airways American Express, now's the time to hop off it. The enhanced welcome bonuses on both the free card and the Premium Plus card end on 6th October 2026, which gives you just one week left to apply. Here's what you need to know. Just a quick heads-up: Points Well Made is here to dish out the juicy details on miles and points, but we're not y

In May this year we launched our Avios calculator because, honestly, finding the prices of Avios flights, and then comparing the prices was just too much hassle. There was no one tool where you could directly compare the prices across all the Avios airlines (British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Qatar Airways, Finnair, and Loganair), which is why we made one to tell you how much any flight would cos in Avios. That was a good first attempt, let's call it, but we've now decided

Update: as of 15:40 17/10, flights have been I loaded onto the BA website, but cannot be purchased. British Airways is adding two new destinations in Tanzania next summer, and one plane will fly to both. From 29 May 2027, British Airways will fly from Gatwick to Kilimanjaro three times a week, then continue to Zanzibar before heading home. The route runs until 31 October, which covers the school holidays and the main safari season. But that's not all... How the Kilimanjaro/Za

In the latest instalment of the ongoing run of 25th anniversary activity from Amex and BA, we have three new Avios offers to load to your British Airways American Express cards. Admittedly this isn't as exciting as a bargain Avios-only flight to New York, but at least this one won't be horrifically oversubscribed... There's a route to bonus Avios for all British Airways American Express cardholders, whether that's through hotels, everyday shopping or a wine delivery. Here's h

If you've been sitting on the fence about applying for either the British Airways Premium Plus American Express, or the free British Airways American Express, today's news should give you a little "boost" to want to. The welcome bonuses, for both the free card and the Premium Plus card, have been enhanced, and are currently running until 6th October 2026. Here's what you need to know before these offers skip away from you. Just a quick heads-up: Points Well Made is here to di

The other week, we brought you the news about the launch of the new and improved Avios Reward Flight search. It's great, but it's not perfect, so here are a few things we would like to see changed. 355 days in advance? Neither the Avios website, nor the Avios app appear to show flights 355 days in advance, only up to the end of July. Here is an example for London to Mumbai, August 2027, where flights should be showing to the middle of the month now. This fault is also true wi
