Video: The Coming of Age of British Airways Avios

British Airways Avios has long been a somewhat frustrating loyalty program for Canadians – it’s super easy to earn points through a variety of transfer partners, but there haven’t been many ideal sweet spots to pursue.

That’s all changed in the spring of 2022, with Qatar Airways linking up with British Airways and adopting the Avios points currency. All of a sudden, Avios are freely convertible 1:1 between the two rewards programs, and the value in redeeming Avios for Qatar Airways Qsuites is now very attractive.

Without further ado, you can watch the video below:
