Why it earns its spot
- +Avios short-haul partner awards are a genuine sweet spot
- +Statement credits can blunt BA's notorious surcharges
Where it costs you
- −BA long-haul awards carry heavy fuel surcharges
- −$30k spend for the companion ticket is steep
- −Weak earning outside airline purchases
The Compound Verdict
Get this for Avios the currency, not British Airways the airline. Short partner flights on American and Alaska priced in Avios are the play, and the fee-offset credits help when you do fly BA metal. Chart the bonus, it cycles to 100k occasionally.
