Earlier this month, British Airways officially announced a devaluation<\/a>, which has now taken effect. Overall prices are up by about 10%, which isn\u2019t too outrageous. What BA didn\u2019t openly tell everyone, however, is that partner airline redemptions have also been devalued at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n

Partner award pricing with British Airways is fairly complex. For short- and medium-haul routes (under 3,000 miles), there are four different pricing bands, all of which have seen increases to varying degrees in this round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For zones 3,001 miles and over the redemption prices are the same which is why I didn’t repeat. For Avios partners (Qatar Airway, Aer Lingus, Iberia and Finnair) their own pricing rules apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the increases are higher than 10%. While not completely brutal this round, partners like American Airlines and Cathay Pacific have been hit repeatedly in recent years, and things are honestly starting to look pretty grim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick reminder: although they all belong to the Avios ecosystem, redeeming these partner flights through Qatar Airways or Finnair can often be significantly cheaper, and is well worth looking into<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
