Can you transfer Avios to someone else?

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 transfer Avios to someone else in 2026, but the method depends on your relationship with the person and whether you want to pay a fee. Within the British Airways Executive Club, the most cost-effective way is to set up a Household Account. This allows up to seven people living at the same address to pool their Avios for free, allowing any member to use the collective balance for a booking. If you want to send Avios to someone outside your household, you must use the "Transfer Avios" service, which typically incurs a service fee based on the number of points being moved. However, Gold and Silver members of the Executive Club can often transfer a limited number of Avios for free each year. Another clever 2026 trick is "booking for someone else"—you can use your own Avios to book a flight in another person's name without actually moving the points between accounts, which avoids all transfer fees entirely. Always check the specific rules for Qatar Airways and Iberia, as their Avios transfer protocols are now fully integrated with British Airways.
