Up To 40% Off Avios Tickets From London City Airport

British Airways has just launched a Black Friday offer for up to 40% off Avios tickets from London City Airport. This offer applies to both peak and off-peak Avios Reward Flights from London City Airport for travel between 21 November 2023 and 31 March 2024 and can be booked by any British Airways Executive Club Member (make sure you are logged in!) that has earned or spent at least 1 Avios in the last 12 months.

Up To 40% Off Avios Tickets?!

Yes! Until the end of Cyber Monday (27th November) you can book Avios flights with up to 40% off the Avios required (no discount on the ‘taxes & fees’ unfortunately but they are cheap in Europe anyway…)

Economy tickets have ‘up to 40% off’ whereas Business Class seats have a fixed 25% off. Whilst unfortunately London City Airport doesn’t have any long-haul flights there are a wide range of European destinations you might be interested in. Here are the headline deals…

Destination Prices based on a return flight in Euro Traveller
Dublin
£1 + 11,100 Avios

Dublin
£18 + 8,700 Avios

Ibiza
£1 + 14,100 Avios

Barcelona
£35 + 8,700 Avios

Here are a few more examples from the offer landing page – https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/executive-club/offers/reward-flight-offer

Economy

Business

The offer works on both Avios & Money & Reward Flight Saver bookings but as we mentioned earlier the discount only applies to the Avios part.

What is the best offer?

To be honest there isn’t much difference flying Business Class in Europe to start with, combine that with London City Airport with no lounges and 2×2 seating no matter your travel class in our opinion you are better off taking the 40% discount.

How do I find the discount the flight I want has?

Unfortunately the booking process won’t show you the fact that you are getting a discount. You will need to compare on another device not logged in to your British Airways account or use our Avios flight cost page as a reference. Remember the offer is only valid on travel between 21 November 2023 and 31 March 2024 and needs to be booked by the end of Cyber Monday (27th November.)

Can I use my Barclaycard Upgrade Voucher or My BA Amex 2-4-1 Voucher with the Avios Tickets offer?

Yes you can! Both BA Amex 2-4-1 vouchers & Barclaycard Upgrade vouchers work as per normal but an interesting quirk is that if you use your Barclaycard Upgrade Voucher you get a larger discount. For example from London – Berlin…

Business class using an upgrade voucher – 11,187 Avios + £ 1.00
No voucher business class – 23,437 Avios + £ 1.00
Economy 13,300 Avios + £ 1.00

So if you do have some Barclaycard Upgrade Vouchers you want to use up now might be a good time…

Conclusion

If you are looking to book a trip to Europe over the next 4 months the offer is a no-brainer to take advantage of. If you have some bookings under the £1 (or low) ‘taxes & fees’ option you may want to consider rebooking them to take advantage of the up to 40% offer!
