Overview
- BA confirmed increases to both Avios and cash components for Reward Flights from 15 December 2025, releasing only a few examples rather than a full pricing chart.
- Published examples show roughly a 10% rise in points plus higher surcharges, such as London–Geneva economy moving from 9,250 to 10,000 Avios each way and London–New York economy return from 50,000 to 55,000 Avios.
- Bookings ticketed before 15 December keep current pricing; after that date, changes to destination, cabin or seasonality will reprice, while simple time or date changes within the same season will not add Avios.
- BA states the increases apply across all British Airways flights and airline partners, though outlets note full route- and partner-specific impacts will only be clear once new prices appear on 15 December.
- Analysts advise redeeming or transferring Avios before the change, noting cash surcharges are rising and that inter‑program Avios transfers (e.g., to Qatar or Finnair) may offer short‑term value.
