How many Avios do you actually need for a flight? It depends. British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Finnair, Qatar Airways and Loganair all use the Avios, but they charge wildly different amounts for the same route. Comparing them properly has, until now, meant clicking through different award charts and hoping you've worked it out correctly. So we built a tool that does it for you. The Avios Calculator: All Six Airlines, One Search compares how many Avios you need, across eve

Iberia is running an Avios discount on reward flights, with savings of 10%, 20% or 30% depending on the route. You need to book by 10 May 2026 and travel has to be completed by 15 September 2026. The discount applies to the Avios cost only. Taxes and fees stay the same. Bookings must be made on the Iberia website. If you try and book through BA, you will see the standard price. All routes are to or from Madrid, meaning you will have to connect if travelling onwards. The trave

If you have to abide by school holidays, you already know the problem. You are locked into the same travel windows as everyone else, and the Avios price reflects it. BA treats every school holiday as peak. There are two ways around it though, depending on which school holiday you are trying to escape. Half terms: fly Aer Lingus or Iberia BA, Iberia, and Aer Lingus all use Avios and all run peak and off-peak pricing, but their calendars are not the same. Aer Lingus keeps it si

It was pointed out to me by a follower this bank holiday weekend that seemingly all Avios business class availability on Iberia to North and South America has disappeared from November onwards. Others reported that BA availability was also missing over this weekend ( Reddit #1 , Reddit #2 ), but this has since reappeared. But it begs the question, what's happening? Using Reward Flight Finder's Worldwide Map search , I searched for a return trip between the dates of 1st Novem

The complete strategy for UK families who want to use Avios for holidays without losing their minds (or their points). If you've landed on this page, chances are you've heard that Avios can save you a fortune on family flights. And they can. Most Avios guides are written for couples or solo travellers, and for good reason. It's much simpler when you're only booking two seats! Families of four are a different deal as you'll need more Avios, more seats, more planning, and if yo

Just when you'd got your head around the spend-based tier point system that launched last April, British Airways is tweaking the formula again. From 1 April 2026, how you earn tier points on flights is getting a fairly significant upgrade, and for once, these changes are mostly in your favour. The headline? Your fare type now matters. And if you fly American Airlines or Iberia, you're finally getting a piece of the action too. Let's break it all down, including how it compare

Avios subscriptions are one of the quieter corners of the Avios ecosystem. Launched in 2022, they sit on the Avios website alongside buying and boosting points, but they rarely get the same attention. That’s partly because they’re slower, partly because they require steady financial commitment, and partly because for many people there’s simply a better alternative. That doesn’t mean Avios subscriptions are pointless, there is a time and a place. Here’s what an Avios subscript

Iberia is running a brief sale offering up to 40% off Avios redemptions. The booking window is tight, from now until 26 January, but if you've been eyeing an Iberia redemption, it's worth a look. The discount applies to flights departing between 19 January and 24 March 2026 on routes operated by Iberia, Iberia Express, and Iberia Regional Air Nostrum. As usual with these promotions, taxes and surcharges aren't discounted, so you'll still pay the full cash component. What Dest
