Yes, you can give Avios to someone else in 2026, but the method depends on your relationship with the recipient. The most cost-effective way is through a Household Account, which allows up to seven people living at the same address to pool their points for free. If you want to give points to a friend or someone outside your home, you can use the "Transfer Avios" feature on the British Airways or Iberia websites. In 2026, this typically incurs a flat fee (e.g., £50/$65) regardless of the amount transferred, up to a limit of 60,000 Avios per transaction. Alternatively, you can simply book a flight for them using your points; you don't need to transfer the points to their account to buy them a ticket. Just add them as a "Family and Friends" nominee in your profile. This avoids the transfer fees and is usually the "pro tip" for sharing rewards without losing value to administrative costs.
