On Wednesday (February 11, 2026), British Airways announced that the latest Avios-Only flights, where 100 percent 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 the 50th Avios-Only service.  Available exclusively to members of The British Airways Club, seats will be be bookable from Thursday, February 12, 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). 


In Wednesday’s announcement, British Airways’ Chief Commercial Officer, Colm Lacy, said,


“We’re excited to release these latest Avios-Only flights, to two top leisure destinations for summer.  These flights are always incredibly popular, and we’re delighted to give our loyal customers even more opportunities to enjoy the benefits of The British Airways Club.”


Also commenting on the release of Avios-Only flights to two new destinations, IAG Loyalty’s CEO, Adam Daniels, added,


“While it’s not been too long since our last Avios-Only flight, we are excited to be starting the year by announcing another two flights on London City Airport’s hottest new routes to Toulon and Madrid.  With all seats onboard only available to book with Avios, the initiative shows the continued power of loyalty, and opens up greater redemption opportunities for customers during the peak summer months.”

Since launching 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 today’s announcement, British Airways will surpass 50 dedicated Avios-Only flights, with the return flight from Madrid to London marking the 50th milestone. 


Additionally, customers with a British Airways American Express 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.  As always, customers can still book Reward Seats using Avios at static rates on all British Airways routes.   On all flights to/from London 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).
