First ever long-haul Avios-Only flights go on sale for October half term 2024\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

British Airways has announced that Dubai will be the destination of its next Avios-Only flight, offering more than 200 half term return Reward Seats from just \u00a3100 + 60,000 Avios. The flight is available to book now.\u00a0The BA105 from London Heathrow to Dubai will offer 214 Reward Seats across three cabins on 26 October 2024<\/strong>. The BA108 will return a week later on 2 November 2024<\/strong> with 256 up for grabs across four cabins, perfectly in time for a half term getaway.\u00a0This is the first time that the airline has offered a long-haul Avios-Only flight, and it brings the total number to more than 30, including Geneva, Nice, Ibiza and Corfu. Avios-Only flights were launched earlier this year, on which 100% of the seats are exclusively available to British Airways Executive Club Members as Rewards Seats.<\/p>\n

Avios only seats are sold as normal Reward Seats, which means that customers with British Airways American Express Credit Cards will also have the option to use their Companion Vouchers.

British Airways guarantees a minimum of 12 and 14 Reward Seats on standard short and long-haul flights respectively, whereas Avios-Only flights mean that every seat is available to purchase using Avios. Members booking the Avios-Only flight can do so in any cabin as they normally would through ba.com.<\/p>\n
