Finnair and IAG Loyalty have expanded their partnership, offering customers the opportunity to link their loyalty programme accounts.
The expansion will allow members to link their Finnair Plus and British Airways Executive Club accounts, allowing the transfer of Avios between both loyalty programme accounts.
A statement from Finnair describes the move as “the next step of Finnair officially adopting Avios as its loyalty currency, following a partnership with IAG Loyalty.
“As we continue on our journey into a new era with Finnair Plus, we are excited to be joining forces with our friends at British Airways,"" said Pekka Antila, Finnair head of loyalty. “From 22 May, customers will benefit from being able to link their Finnair Plus and British Airways Executive Club accounts, allowing the seamless transfer of Avios.
“Customers will also enjoy a new and expanded range of opportunities to collect and use Avios, with access to both Finnair Plus and British Airways Executive Club’s partners.
“This move has been a long-time coming, and we know it will prove popular with customers in the UK, Finland, and across the world, who choose to fly with both Finnair and British Airways.”
