British Airways advises fliers on how to collect Avios points
Flights in Business or First Class are much sought after by plane passengers. However, sadly for many people, these tickets are just too expensive. Luckily, this doesn’t mean upgrades are totally out of one’s reach.
One good way to bag such perks is by signing up to airline schemes.
British Airways Avios is one such popular programme. It comes with a number of benefits - and these have increased even more this month.
British Airways Executive Club Members can earn up to double Avios from now until the beginning of March when shopping at selected retailers including H&M and John Lewis on Avios eStore.
