British Airways has announced the launching of its first points-based "Avios-Only" flights with 100% of the seats "exclusively available" as reward seats to its executive club members.
The first such flight will be with BA Euroflyer from London Gatwick to Sharm El Sheikh on 3 November 2023. Next up will be a selection of flights from London Heathrow to Geneva in February and March 2024, with more routes to be announced in the meantime.
"Return flights to Sharm El Sheikh will be from as little as £1 + 27,500 Avios per person, with an option to reduce this even further with a companion voucher," the carrier said, with Club Europe (business class) fares starting from £1 + 48,500 Avios.
"BA Euroflyer is the only short-haul carrier based at Gatwick to offer a loyalty programme, and now we’re offering more value and choice than ever for our members," said chief executive Tom Stoddart.
