British Airways
The airline reaches its 50th Avios-Only service

British Airways has announced that the latest Avios-Only flights, on which 100% of the seats are exclusively available as Reward Seats, will be flying from London City Airport to Madrid and Toulon Saint-Tropez, as the airline reaches its 50th Avios-Only service.  

Available exclusively to members of The British Airways Club, seats will be available to book from tomorrow, 12 February 2026, with prices starting at just £2 plus 21,500 Avios for Toulon, and £2 plus 28,000 Avios for Madrid, including 23kg checked baggage.  

Customers can explore the Spanish capital and hub of art and culture over the late May bank holiday, making the most of their travels, or discover Toulon, a brand-new destination for British Airways this summer, and the closest airport to the glitz and glamour of Saint-Tropez. Flights depart and return to London City Airport, conveniently located in the heart of the capital. 

Since launching Avios-Only flights in 2023, British Airways has operated 48 Avios-Only flights to 16 destinations across Europe, the Caribbean, Africa and the Middle East, including Cape Town, Barbados, Sharm El Sheikh, Málaga and Marrakesh. With this latest news, British Airways will surpass 50 dedicated Avios-Only flights* with the return flight from Madrid to London marking the 50th milestone. 

Customers with a British Airways American Express Credit Card also have the option to use their Companion Vouchers when booking seats on Avios-Only flights. These entitle Members to a second seat for no extra Avios, just the taxes and charges. 

Alongside these dedicated Avios-Only flights, customers can book Reward Seats, purchased using Avios at static rates, on all British Airways routes. On flights to and from Heathrow and Gatwick, British Airways guarantees a minimum of 12 and 14 Reward Seats on standard short and long-haul flights respectively. For services to and from London City, four reward seats are guaranteed, with two in business (Club Europe) and two in economy (Euro Traveller). Avios-Only flights mean that every seat is available to purchase using Avios. Members booking the Avios-Only flight can do so in any cabin as they normally would through ba.com.
