British Airways Expands Reward Flight Saver Availability

British Airways has expanded the availability of its reward flights. From today the number of long-haul destinations available for Reward Flight Saver (RFS) bookings with Avios has been doubled.

RFS flights now include Club World (long-haul business class) and World Traveller Plus (premium economy) for every long-haul flight. In addition, for the first time the ability to book RFS flights is also being rolled out to US-based Executive Club Members.

RFS offers Reward Seats for a flat fee, plus a fixed Avios amount. The entry level is European flights starting at £1 plus 18,500 Avios, or, for long-haul, from £100 plus 50,000 Avios.

The new move sees this offer extended to 100 per cent of the airline’s route network – including long-haul premium cabins. Bookings can be changed or cancelled easily for a fee of £35 per person.

Until today, RFS was available to redeem in Club Europe (short-haul business class), Euro Traveller (short-haul economy) and World Traveller (long-haul economy) cabins.

BA is guaranteeing a minimum number of Reward Seats are available to book on every flight to and from London Heathrow and London Gatwick. The amounts are:

• Eight in Euro/World Traveller
• Two in World Traveller Plus
• Four in Club Europe/World

For Executive Club Members based in the US, return flights are available to London Heathrow and London Gatwick from as little as $200 plus 50,000 in World Traveller, and $700 plus 160,000 Avios in Club World.

BA has provided the following examples of pricing.
