We regularly talk about how to collect as many Avios as possible through credit cards, bonuses, flights, points conversions, online shopping and more. But earning Avios is only the first step. Knowing how many you’ll need for a redemption is just as important, particularly following the recent changes to British Airways reward pricing.
Generally speaking, the best value per Avios is still found on long-haul redemptions, particularly in Club World and First. That said, you shouldn’t write off short-haul redemptions. The fixed cash element is low, and there is often plenty of availability; they’re especially useful during school holidays and other peak times when cash fares across Europe increase to eye-watering amounts.
This is part 1 of our British Airways reward chart series and covers all the short-haul routes in Euro Traveller and Club Europe. Part 2 will cover long-haul reward pricing.
Here’s everything you need to know!
In this post:
British Airways Reward pricing
When booking a British Airways Reward flight, you’ll pay a set number of Avios (based on the pricing table below) alongside a cash payment.
In December 2025, British Airways increased both the Avios and cash required for Reward Flights. A further devaluation followed in May 2026, when BA increased the cash contribution again.
Pricing is still reasonable for short-haul, starting at £2.50 for Euro Traveller and £20 for Club Europe, up from £1 and £15.
Peak vs Off-Peak
The number of Avios you’ll need depends on whether you’re flying on a peak or off-peak date, your cabin class and how far you’re flying.
British Airways prices reward flights as either Peak or Off-Peak. You can look on Reward Flight Finder, where off-peak dates can be highlighted.
When searching on the BA site, off-peak dates are marked by a red box.
Choosing to fly on off-peak dates can save you a substantial number of Avios.
How to Find Award Availability
Though many routes, especially short-haul, are easy to find availability, some routes are historically extremely difficult. Fortunately, there are some ways to improve your chances.
British Airways releases reward seats 355 days before departure. At a minimum, BA guarantees a minimum of eight Euro Traveller and four Club Europe reward seats on every short-haul flight. From London City, there are two in Euro Traveller and two in Club Europe. Extra seats are sometimes released later, but there is no guarantee.
One of the easiest ways to search for reward seats is with Reward Flight Finder (RFF). Rather than searching day by day on the BA site, or using BA’s own calendar and clicking through each month, RFF has an easy-to-use calendar which instantly shows availability in all cabins and the peak and off-peak dates, depending on your RFF membership tier.
If you’re travelling on a popular route or during peak periods, being ready to book as soon as seats are released – or setting an alert with Reward Flight Finder – can make all the difference.
BA has also launched a calendar feature on the Avios.com site.
When you use a Companion Voucher earned with the British Airways American Express Premium Plus Card, you may receive access to additional Club World reward seats, depending on availability. These are in addition to the minimum number of seats BA releases on each flight.
If you’re using a Companion Voucher (earned via AMEX cards), you will still need reward-seat availability for both passengers. The voucher removes the Avios required for the companion, but taxes, fees and carrier charges remain payable for both. BA has added a feature to find the extra Companion Voucher availability on Avios.com.
British Airways Reward Flight Chart – Short-haul and Medium-haul
When booking short-haul reward flights, you should always compare the cost of a cash flight. In some cases, such as school holidays, where cash prices increase massively, short-haul redemptions can be particularly good value, not to mention the taxes being much lower than long-haul redemptions.
Just keep in mind that the Club Europe cabin is not a traditional ‘Business Class’ seat. It has the standard European Business Class layout with a blocked middle seat (apart from the BA CityFlyer Embraer 190), lounge access, an onboard meal and drinks service, priority services and a number of other benefits.
This reward chart shows one-way pricing from London and is shown in alphabetical order to help you find what you’re looking for. Keep in mind that some routes are seasonal.

Using Cash + Avios
The prices listed show the maximum number of Avios you can spend on the redemption. BA will also let you pay a mix of cash and Avios, and the pricing options will be displayed to you upon booking.
Make sure that if you pay the maximum number of Avios, this is the best value option.
Final Words
Though the two recent devaluations have increased the cash and Avios elements of redemptions, cash elements are still very low in comparison to long-haul redemptions. To find out whether your redemption is good value, make sure you find out the cash price. When fares surge, redeeming Avios can save hundreds of pounds.
Make sure you bookmark this page and check back before making your next redemption.
Part 2 will cover long-haul routes and how to get even better value with Companion Vouchers and Upgrade Vouchers.
