About this episode
The episode discusses British Airways' new Avios-Only routes and their value compared to standard award rates.
British Airways has launched two new Avios-Only routes from London City Airport to Madrid and Toulon Saint-Tropez, marking their 50th service since 2023. We break down the pricing for both destinations, compare them to standard award rates, and analyze whether they're actually good value or just conveniently available. Learn about the key advantage of these flights: guaranteed availability during peak travel periods when standard award space is impossible to find. Plus, discover why the Companion Voucher makes these routes particularly attractive for couples. Subscribe to Smart With Points 👉🏼 https://smartwithpoints.com/ .
