British Airways just released news of two new Avios only flights in October half term. But given that they usually sell out within hours of release, what else is available right now? Let’s take a look with Reward Flight Finder:
Short Haul
London Gatwick – Alicante
There’s some really great reward seat availability in Economy and Business Class from September 2026 to May 2027, including the school holidays, with lots of days having 4 seats in each cabin to book.
London Gatwick – Bari
Availability is plentiful from June, July and October 2026. Most days have 6 seats in both Economy and Business Class to book with points.
London Gatwick and Heathrow – Chania
You’ll find a couple of fantastic patches of availability in Economy and Business Class in April and May 2027, with many days having 6 seats in Economy and 4 seats in the premium cabin.
London City, Heathrow and Stansted- Florence
From September 2026 through to May 2027, you’ll find a ton of availability to book with Avios. Both cabins have loads of days with 6 seats to book.
London City, Heathrow and Stansted – Olbia
Seats are plentiful in May 2027, with days having 6 Economy and 4 Business Class seats to book with your Avios pot.
London Heathrow – Paris
For some strange reason, there’s an abundance of availability from August 2026 to June 2027, with most days showing 6 seats in Economy and 4 in Business Class.
Long Haul
London Heathrow – Austin
There are plenty of Premium Economy and Business Class seats between August 2026 and May 2027. Lots of dates still have 6 seats in each cabin.
London Heathrow – Bermuda
Another nice surprise for collectors. Premium Economy reward seats are looking great from September 2026, up to May 2027, with some days having 6 seats. Business Class seats have good availability between August 2026 and April 2027. Some dates even have 6 seats. Unfortunately, none of the Business Class is showing as Club Suite right now, but set an Alert with RFF and don’t miss out in case they come up.
London Gatwick, Heathrow – Barbados
In a rare treat, you’ll find some excellent stretches of Premium Economy and Business Class reward seats in September 2026 and May 2027, with dates having 6 seats in each cabin. There are even dates with the newest Club Suite seats still up for grabs. There’s nothing for First at the moment, but BA releases these closer to the scheduled flight time, so set RFF Alerts and try your luck.
London Heathrow – Kuala Lumpur
Premium Economy seats are available to book in July, August, September and November 2026, with quite a lot of days having 6 seats. There’s a tiny sliver of Business Class availability on the outward leg in August 2026.
London Heathrow- San Francisco
If you’re happy to fly Premium Economy, you’ll find a decent selection of reward seats in November 2026 through to May 2027, with some days having 3 seats to book with Avios. For Business Class, check November 2026 through to May 2027, where there are plenty of days with 6 seats to snap up.
