The Basics
What are Avios — and why do they matter?
Avios is the reward currency of the Oneworld alliance — shared by British Airways Executive Club, Iberia Plus, Qatar Airways Privilege Club, Aer Lingus AerClub and a dozen other partners. You accumulate them by flying, spending on travel credit cards, staying in hotels, or shopping with hundreds of retail partners.
What makes Avios unusually powerful is zone-based pricing. Unlike most programmes that price awards by distance, Avios groups destinations into zones — so a 1,500-mile flight in the same zone as a 500-mile flight costs exactly the same number of points. The trick is knowing which routes sit at the cheap end of each zone boundary.
The second dimension is yield: not just how many Avios you get, but how many you earn per pound or dollar spent on the ticket. A heavily discounted economy fare might yield only 0.3 Avios per mile; a full-fare business class ticket on the same route can yield 3×. Our calculator shows you both numbers instantly.
How it works
Using the tools
Avios Calculator — how to use it
Select the loyalty programme you earn miles in — BA Executive Club, Qatar Privilege Club, Finnair Plus, etc. The calculator uses that programme's exact earning rates.
Type airport codes (e.g. LHR → JFK) or city names. Then choose your cabin class: Economy, Premium Economy, Business or First. The fare class within a cabin can halve or double your earnings.
You'll see Avios earned, Tier Points, route distance, and a yield rating. The yield card tells you whether this flight is a good earner — use it to compare routes before booking.
Status Run Generator — how to use it
A status run is a flight taken primarily to earn the Tier Points needed for — or to retain — elite status. For example, if you need 400 more TPs before your BA year ends, a targeted return trip is far cheaper than booking at random.
Tell the generator your nearest hub airport and how many Tier Points you still need. It then calculates return trips across multiple routes to find the most efficient options.
Results show Tier Points per £ spent — a higher ratio means you're getting more status credit for your money. Filter by cabin class to see how upgrading to Business affects the math.
