Heads up, Avios collectors! British Airways is tweaking its award pricing on December 15, 2025, meaning you'll need more Avios – and cough up more in taxes and fees – for those sweet award flights. While devaluations are never fun, it's sadly a common occurrence in the points and miles world. Airlines sometimes increase the number of points required to book a "free" flight.
So, what does this mean for you? If you've been eyeing a British Airways redemption, now's the time to lock it in before the changes hit. Since this is notice of a change over a year in advance, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of current pricing. Think of it as a friendly nudge to finally use those Avios you've been hoarding!
While the AwardWallet Blog post doesn't specify exactly how much the price will increase, the key takeaway is to act fast if you have a trip in mind. Keep an eye on AwardTrail for updates!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
