FlyBe to leave Avios

31/01/2019 by Kevincm

In news that should come as surprise to exactly no-one, Flybe is to withdraw from the Avios frequent flyer point collection and spend scheme from 30th April 2019

A full FAQ has been loaded at https://www.flybe.com/avios/faqs, but here are the highlights:

  • The Airline will not be an Avios partner from 30th April 2019
  • No Earn and spend Avios on or after this date
  • If you’re a FlyBe Avios member, you’ll be contacted in the near future by Avios about the options.
  • A new loyalty programme is in works , which is to be announced shortly
  • Future redemption bookings are allowed beyond 30th April 2019, but need to be booked by the deadline
  • You cannot cancel flights because you can’t earn Avios with FlyBe

As we all know, FlyBe is being propelled into a future where it will be owned by Connect Airways – made up by a partnership of Virgin Atlantic, Stobart Airways and Cyprus Capital – who will own the airline.

So it isn’t too far-fetched to guess what the future of any Loyalty Programme might be skewed toward, and what currency you’ll be earning.

For now, if you do have FlyBe Avios remaining – it might be time to move them to another Avios account… or spend the things…
