Finnair to allow Avios transfers to British Airways Executive Club Accounts from 22nd May

20/05/2024 by Kevincm

For those who have been waiting to transfer Avios between Finnair Plus and British Airways Executive Club loyalty schemes, there’s good news.

The magic date you’re waiting for has been confirmed as the 22nd of May.

You can link your Finnair Plus and British Airways Executive Club accounts and transfer your Avios between them.

This will allow you further opportunities to collect and use Avios significantly wider than previously, as you will have access to not just Finnair Plus awards and partner network but also to those of the British Airways Executive Club.

Transferring Avios between accounts is free of charge and you can do it as often as you wish. To be able to link our accounts you need to enable two-factor authentication on your Finnair and British Airways Accounts.

Furthermore, you can link your British Airways Executive Club account to your Qatar Airways Privilege Club or Iberia Plus account if you have one.

There are some lovely instructions on the Finnair Page which guide you through the process, which requires you to log in, ensure multifactor authentication is enabled, and ensure the first and family names are the same.

You can then link accounts and share Avios between them.

Some interesting possibilities ahead

When loyalty programmes start linking with each other, possibilities emerge that may not have existed before – be it in terms of earning (for example, hotels) or burning (with different routes and prices available).

It requires a few evenings of digging and planning, but there could be some hidden treasures, ripe for digging to earn and spend Avios on.

And extra partners – be they through the Finnair, Britsh Airways, Qatar Airways or Iberia programmes are always welcome.

    It’ll be interesting to see if Finnair, like Qatar Airways have done, run any promotions of bonus Avios for opening a Finnair Plus account.
