Can I pay for a holiday with Avios?

Simply log into your Executive Club account and you can use your Avios as part payment on Flight + Hotel and Flight + Car holidays*. Using Avios to part pay towards a holiday can only be done at initial booking stage.



Yes, you can pay for a holiday using Avios through the British Airways Holidays platform. In 2026, the program allows you to use your points to cover the entire cost of a flight-plus-hotel or flight-plus-car package, or you can choose a part-payment option to reduce the cash price. To maximize the value, British Airways occasionally offers promotions where your Avios are worth 25% more toward a holiday booking, though standard redemptions usually provide around 0.5p to 1p per point. The process is integrated into the booking flow on the British Airways website; after selecting your flight and accommodation, you will be presented with various Avios-and-cash combination options. This is a highly popular choice for travelers who have accumulated large balances but find reward flight availability for specific dates to be limited, as holiday bookings allow you to pay with points for any available room or seat on the site.
