Great news for anyone swimming in Avios (that's the reward currency for airlines like British Airways and Qatar Airways)! You can now freely move your Avios between all seven airlines that use them: British Airways, Qatar Airways, Iberia, Finnair, Aer Lingus, Vueling, and Loganair. This is a game changer.
Why should you care? Think of it as unlocking ultimate flexibility. Got a few orphaned Avios in your Iberia account and not enough for a flight? Just pool them with your British Airways stash. Even better, different airlines offer different redemption rates for the same flights. So, you can now strategically move your Avios to the airline offering the best deal for your dream trip! It's basically like having seven different piggy banks that you can empty and refill at will.
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.
