One of the best promotions currently available to Canadians is the 25% transfer bonus from American Express Membership Rewards to British Airways Executive Club.

Avios Award Chart Short-Haul Devaluation
Boy, it’s been a hard year for redeeming miles this year. We’ve had Aeroplan announce a devaluation in December, and British Airways Avios itself devalue earlier this year. Unfortunately, it looks like British Airways has decided to eliminate another sweet spot, which is the 4,500 miles short-haul award. In an email they sent out today:…
Vancouver A380 Service from British Airways Launched!
Updates to Vancouver Airport’s international flights are always interesting to me. This jolted me awake this morning, as British Airways is bringing their Airbus A380 to YVR for the 2016 Summer Schedule!

With most frequent flyer programs devaluing every few years, I should have known BA was pretty ripe for some changes. British Airways is modifying their scheme for earnings…
British Airways First Class for 25,000 Avios?
Edit: I had written this post a while back but only gotten around to publishing it today and by some co-incidence British Airways also announced that Old First is to be sold as business class instead. The seat maps and inventory haven’t been changed to reflect that though, at least for flights departing in the…
No Fuel Surcharge on BA with Dividend Miles!
I’ve hinted at this many times on the Flyertalk forum and previously in this post, as well as my BBM groups, so I’m assuming that if you read me you *should* have known about this already. All the major bloggers have blown this one, so I might as well talk about it as well. US…
Avios raises Cancellation Fees
British Airways has just increased their change and cancellation fees for Avios award tickets. Change/Redeposit fees have now gone up from 40 USD all the way to 55 USD. It’s not significant, although this does make it a bit more painful to cancel flights though. I also don’t like that there was no advance notice. Existing…
