Christmas markets are a magical way to experience festive traditions, and some cities are world-famous for them. These trips can be even more magical if you pay for them with Avios! Here are some of the best destinations for Christmas markets, and British Airways reward seat availability to help you plan your festive adventure:

London Heathrow – Cologne

Cologne Cathedral Christmas Market in dusk, Germany. This is the most popular and best-known of all the city markets in front of the famous Cologne Cathedral.

There’s some great availability across October, November and December right now. On lots of days you’ll find 6 Economy reward seats and 4 Business Class reward seats to book with points.

There’s some decent reward seat availability throughout October, November and December. On some days you’ll find 4 Economy seats and 4 Business Class seats to book with Avios. Vienna is a super popular Christmas market city though – so if that’s your plan too, book fast!

London City, London Heathrow – Prague

October is a tad spottier, but there’s good availability in November and December right now. On most days you’ll find 4 Economy reward seats and 4 Business Class reward seats to book.

London Heathrow – Brussels

    Also have a look at Graz – which you mentioned when the route was announced as ‘one of Austria’s best Christmas markets’. There seems to be a lot of avios availability but for some reason it isn’t recognised on RFF or Seatspy.
