If you combine that offer with the crazy good deals floating around, travel has never been more affordable.

The Offer

For British Airways flights, and British Airways flights only, you can use Avios as part payment for a flight and receive greater than normal value. To be exact: 5,000 Avios will get you £100 off any long haul ticket from the UK to the world. The super boosted Avios value runs until Tuesday, Feb 12th at midnight. Just like Cinderella, you don’t want to turn into an overpaying pumpkin. We’ll explain..

Stack It

It’s not hard to find British Airways flights to great cities like New York starting at £275 round trip. If you then stack this offer, you’re looking at return flights, all in with taxes and fees included, for £175 in cash and 5,000 of your Avios.

Starting from cities like London, Inverness or Edinburgh, you’ll find staggeringly good deals in the upgraded experience of Premium Economy, which you can also take £100 off of using 5,000 Avios. Scotland to Abu Dhabi starts at £378 if you use 5,000 Avios to take £100 off. London to Boston starts at £675 return, so 5,000 Avios would make it £575.

Hot Tip

Most of the very best priced flights are available in March, May, the first half of June and then again in September, October, November and December. You’ll find the lowest prices if you stay at least one Saturday night in your destination city. Note: this special discount only works for flights taken before June 30th, 2019.

Oh and another hot tip: If you book Premium Economy, many of these cities can be upgraded to business class for an additional 20,000-30,000 points each way, after booking. Here’s an easy guide to figuring all that stuff out, but good to know, right?

How To Book

First, you need an Executive Club account with British Airways. Create one here, if you don’t already have one. Next, you need 5,000 Avios Points. You can instantly create them using Amex Points and a variety of other credit card points, if you don’t already have some. Once you have an account with 5,000 points or more, you’re all set. You don’t need to “find” this offer in your account or anything.

Just go to search flights on British Airways website like you always would. It’s easiest if you login to your account first, or while booking. Search for any flight to great cities which are on sale like Hong Kong, New York, Boston, Dubai, Singapore or Los Angeles and be sure to only select British Airways flights. Partner flights on American, etc won’t work.

Once you have the perfect flights selected you’ll have the option of using 5,000 Avios per person to take £100 off per person toward the end of the booking process. You won’t see it until after you’ve selected flights and are going to the payment pages. Don’t stress!

The Best Part

The best part of all this, other than amazing travel? You’ll actually earn points back, and earn tier points too. Because you’re still buying these fares with cash, and not just cashing in points, you’ll get some or all of the 5,000 points you use back into your account after you fly. That makes this a ridiculously good deal, hence the title. Enjoy!
