Executive Club
The Executive Club is British Airways' loyalty program, and its currency is Avios. Its big edge is that Avios are part of a shared ecosystem: you can move them among British Airways, Iberia, Qatar Airways, Finnair and Aer Lingus, all oneworld.
How to accumulate, transfer and redeem well on Executive Club — step by step, tiers, partners and FAQ.
How it works
Avios don't expire as long as you earn or redeem at least 1 Avios every 36 months. In Brazil, you earn by transferring Livelo points (about 3.5:1) and Esfera. As a oneworld member, you can redeem on many airlines. Tiers are Blue, Bronze, Silver and Gold.
How to accumulate
- Transferring Livelo points (about 3.5:1) and Esfera.
- Flying British Airways and oneworld partners.
- Moving Avios from other ecosystem programs (Iberia, Qatar, Finnair, Aer Lingus).
- On Avios-purchase promotions, which sometimes carry a high bonus.
How to redeem
- Flights on British Airways and oneworld partners (American, Qatar, Japan Airlines, Cathay, Qantas and others).
- Short routes at good Avios cost (the chart rewards shorter distances).
- Cabin upgrades.
- Mind British's carrier surcharges, which can be high on some routes.
