Can I give Avios to someone else?

Transfer Avios Transfer some of your Avios to your friends and family. It could make all the difference to their next exciting trip away. Simply log in, enter their Avios membership details and choose the amount of Avios to transfer. You can transfer up to 60,000 Avios in one go and up to 200,000 in a year.



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.
