British Airways devalues Avios for partner awards from 30 May 2019

Published by

Expect to burn up to 30% more Avios for your award tickets on non-BA flights, especially on the short routes. British Airways have announced earlier this year that it will be devaluing the Executive Club Avios for partner awards from late May onwards, and you would have seen many sites urging you to make a redemption before that. What makes this so special is, unlike other airlines who typically unveil the new charts at the time of announcement, British Airways didn’t. Instead, the charts were only unveiled on 30 May 2019, the day the changes took effect. The new chart While British Airways does not have an official chart on their website, there have been many sites that have compiled the chart. For ease of reference, I’ve used this one from The Points Guy, who have earlier pieced a new chart and confirmed it with one that a FlyerTalk member have pieced together since the changes went live on 30 May 2019.

How to earn Qantas Points and status credits with Jetstar? To do so, you will need to add on either the Starter Plus or Starter Max bundle. If you are flying with Jetstar Airways in Business, you will need to add the Business Max bundle. Out of Singapore, the Starter Plus and Max bundles will cost anything from S$35 to over S$200, but the points and status credits are pretty much worth it.
