Get 2p Per Avios Discount When Booking This Weekend

BA has recently announced an interesting offer if you are looking to book flights this weekend… If you book a BA short-haul flight from Gatwick for cash by midnight Monday you can part-pay with Avios and receive 2p per Avios point. How’s that for a great Avios Discount?

What are the key details regarding the 2p per Avios Discount?

The offer is valid on short-haul flights from Gatwick on selected travel dates between 20 October 2022 – 30 April 2023. The offer is valid on both Economy and Business Class seats.

How much of an Avios Discount can I get?

There are two restrictions to the amount of discount you can get when using this offer…

Firstly British Airways only lets you pay the base fare with part-pay with Avios, excluding all taxes and charges. So if your fare is extremely low even if you are below the maximum discount (below) you won’t be able to use your Avios for a completely free flight.

Secondly, you are limited to a discount of £100 per person on a return flight. You can view the discount available below…

Return flights (per person)

• £10 off for 500 Avios

For each option here you are getting 2p per Avios which is fantastic value (double our 1p valuation.) If you are booking a flight this weekend you definitely take advantage of the maximum possible Avios discount.

How do I get the Avios discount?

Go on the BA website and go to book a cash ticket from Gatwick in the earlier-mentioned date range. Once you’ve selected your flights you’ll be presented with different options to use Avios to make a saving on the cash element of your ticket

All options get you 2p per Avios so there is no benefit or drawback on any option. Just choose which one suits you best!

Conclusion

If you were planning to book any British Airways flights in the near future the 2p per Avios discount is a fantastic deal. We normally value an Avios point at 1p so here you are getting double the value and as it’s a cash ticket so you still earn Avios & Tier points from it too. The offer ends at midnight on Monday so if you are thinking of taking advantage of the offer don’t hang around for too long!
