British Airways Adds Three New Italian Routes to Its Network
  • More than 1,250 Reward Seats have been made available for August next year, and are expected to sell out in hours  
  • Destinations include holiday hotspots Corfu, Ibiza and Mallorca
  • All travel periods fall over the August Bank Holiday

British Airways has announced its latest Avios-Only flights, which include an additional 1,250 summer vacation prices starting at £1 + 25,500 Avios. Florence, Mallorca, Faro, Corfu, and Ibiza are among the new destinations, with all travel dates falling on the August Bank Holiday.

Avios-Only flights were introduced earlier this year, with 100% of the tickets reserved as Reward tickets for British Airways Executive Club Members.

The latest release brings the total number of Avios-Only flights to nearly 30 and includes departures from London City Airport for the first time. The new flights include:

Avios-only seats are advertised like regular Reward Seats, which means that passengers using British Airways American Express Credit Cards will also be able to utilise their Companion Vouchers. These permit Members to a second ticket for simply the taxes and fees, or one seat for half the amount of Avios.

Reward Seats are ones that may be purchased with Avios at fixed rates. British Airways guarantees a minimum of 12 and 14 Reward Seats on ordinary short and long-haul flights, respectively, whilst Avios-Only flights ensure that every seat is available to purchase using Avios. Members who book the Avios-only flight through ba.com can do so in any cabin.

The first Avios-Only flight, which sold out in less than 24 hours, will depart from London Gatwick on November 3, 2023, bound for Sharm El Sheikh.
