Spend them well
Last checked:
⚡ Quick answer
- Long-haul business class gets the most value. Iberia is often cheaper than BA.
- For short European flights, use Reward Flight Saver.
- Never spend Avios on vouchers or part-paying a ticket. That's under 1p each.
This is the part where people waste everything they collected 😬.

Best value
Iberia is usually cheaper than British Airways for the same Avios, especially to South America. Madrid to Buenos Aires in business is around 51,000 Avios one way on off-peak dates. And the taxes are much lower than with BA.

Every now and then BA releases flights where every seat is sold for Avios only. The latest: London to Mallorca and Crete in August 2027, economy. If the dates work for you, those are some of the best prices you’ll ever see.
