What is Reward Flight Finder?

Reward Flight Finder offers a free and paid service to find Avios seats for a whole year’s worth of flights at a glance. One of the most useful features is available on the paid plan where you can set alerts when Avios seats are released on the flights you want. You can also use the map feature which shows you all the Avios destinations available on a particular date.

There is currently a fault with BA’s own yearly availability calendar as it is not showing return flight availability correctly, so it’s a good time to think about using RFF instead. I find it much quicker to use than BA’s version, with only one step to go through to access the data. 

RFF offer monthly and yearly plans. Here are the options:

Silver membership – from £3.99 monthly or Silver Annual £39.99 (current offer for 2 months free)

Top Avios flight availability

Short-haul

London – Tenerife 

Tenerife is one of those destinations where you can make your trip whatever you want it to be. It’s an easy reward seat booking if you want Brit-infused white sandy beaches, bars, restaurants and family resorts. But beyond that you’ll find rustic port settlements, tropical-forest walks and volcanic lava caves to explore, as well as museums, temples and modern art. I used to be a bit of a snob about Tenerife but actually there’s a growing luxury market on the island including a number of Michelin star restaurants and 5* hotels. You can read more in my Forbes article.

Reward seat availability is good throughout the rest of May and June, with some dates having 4 or 5 Economy seats and up to 6 Business Class seats. 

London – Brussels

Brussels is both historic and hip, it makes for a great city break. Think stunning architecture and art nouveau, conceptual art galleries and historic museums. Grand Place, the city’s cobblestone square, bustles with cafes, street food stalls and heady bars. 

Immediate reward seat availability is excellent throughout the rest of May and June. There are loads of Economy seats, with lots of dates having up to 5 seats. There are also lots of dates with up to 6 Business Class seats.

London – Ibiza 

Perfect for all-night ravers, boho-cool trend setters and blissed-out beach lovers. But it’s not just a great destination for party-lovers. Ibiza also offers secret coves, traditional fishing villages and old town charm. 

Reward seat availability is pretty good in the next few weeks, with lots of dates having 4 Economy seats and 6 Business Class seats.  

Long-haul

London – Trinidad and Tobago

This one is a cheeky availability spot. There’s strong Premium Economy reward seat options available immediately, with lots of dates having 6 seats. And, even better, there are dates in the next few weeks with Business Class availability, with a few dates having up to 6 seats to book. 

This place has everything you’d expect from a Caribbean island, with lush palm trees and glittering beaches. You’ll find top-class diving, rainforest hikes and waterfall swimming. After dark there’s electric nightlife and carnivals. And then there’s the local cuisine – a foodies dream. 

London – Orlando

While it’s easy to get caught up in the magic of Disney and Universal Studios, Orlando itself has a lot to offer all age ranges. The city has tree-lined neighborhoods, museums, golf, boating and retail spots, a wild performing arts scene, and a laid-back pace once you leave the rollercoasters behind. 

There’s a great selection of immediately available BA reward seats, including Premium Economy and Business Class. Some dates have 6 Business Class seats available. 

If you are more into beaches Tampa and the Gulf coast are within driving distance.

London – Bahrain

The understanded sister of Qatar and Dubai, Bahrain offers some amazing experiences, and it’s much quieter than its neighbours. Not only is Bahrain entrenched in history and culture, it also hosts the Formula 1 Grand Prix, and has a booming art and foodie scene. There are lots of water activities to be enjoyed on the waters surrounding the islands. Bahrain has all the hallmarks of a modern, wealthy Gulf nation. 

There are lots of immediate BA reward seats available in Premium Economy and Business Class, with most dates having 6 Business Class seats up for grabs. There are also dates with First Class availability throughout the rest of May and June.
