Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your British Airways award flights for routes like New York to London during late January to early February, as this is typically when demand is lower and availability is higher after the holiday season.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from New York (JFK) to Boston (BOS) for just 20,000 British Airways Avios, which typically costs around $200 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Madrid (MAD) via London (LHR) instead of directly from JFK to MAD, saving approximately 5,000 miles by leveraging the British Airways distance-based award chart.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with British Airways for short-haul flights within Europe, as they often charge high fees for fuel surcharges, which can reach up to $300 per ticket even for award bookings.
