Yes, you can transfer Avios to a family member in 2026, and the highest-value way to do so is via a British Airways Household Account. This allows up to seven people living at the same address to "pool" their Avios into a single collective balance for free, making it a premier choice for families saving for a shared holiday. If you want to transfer points to someone outside your household, you can use the "Gift or Transfer" feature on the BA website; however, this typically incurs a high-value fee and has annual limits (usually up to 60,000 Avios per year). For 2026 travelers, a "pro-move" is to link your British Airways Executive Club account with your Qatar Airways or Iberia accounts, as you can now move Avios between these programs at a 1:1 ratio for free. This flexibility ensures that your collective family points can be used for the best possible redemption across the entire Oneworld alliance, providing a frictionless way to reach your next flight upgrade.
