Reward Flight Finder: Latest availability info for TLFL

Spending Avios can sometimes be tricky.  We now regularly bring you a look every fortnight at what routes have the best Avios availability, thanks to Reward Flight Finder.

If there is a particular focus you would like in an article for Avios, let us know in the comments below. 

 

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)

Silver membership includes:

  • Unlimited reward seat searches
  • Get reward seat Alerts within 1 hour
  • Worldwide Map tool
  • Set up to 5 Alerts at once
  • Get email Alerts

Gold membership – from £6.99 monthly or Annual £69.99 (current offer gives 2 months free)

  • Unlimited reward seat searches
  • Get instant reward seat Alerts
  • Worldwide Map tool
  • Set up to 20 Alerts at once
  • Get email Alerts
  • Get SMS Alerts

Latest Avios flight availability

 

London – Chennai, India

Chennai India
 Chennai is a hugely sought after reward seat destination. Not only is Chennai itself home to some amazing cultural and historical sites, it’s also a gateway to other popular Indian destinations. If you’re looking for a last minute trip, October 2023 has a few dates with Business Class availability. Our search is also showing excellent Business Class reward seat availability from March 2024, up to July 2024, with many dates having 6 available seats. 
 
 

London – Dubai

Dubai is always a top search from RFF members. It’s exceptionally popular with adults visiting with their partner or friends, although it’s increasingly growing in the favour of families looking for a holiday to suit all ages. Business Class and First Class seats are consistently in-demand with Avios collectors booking reward seats.
The RFF calendar is showing excellent Business Class reward seat availability at the end of January, and throughout February 2024. Lots of dates have 4 or 6 seats available to book. 
 
 

London – Dominican Republic

The Caribbean islands frequently take top spots in our reward seat searches. They’re exceptionally popular routes all year round due to their great weather, luxury resorts and plentiful things to do. It’s an incredibly desirable destination for honeymooners too. It is generally much better value than many of the other Caribbean islands.
The Dominican Republic has a pretty limited flight schedule, making reward seats even harder to snap up, however, there are a few dates of good Business Class availability in April 2024. It gets even better in May and there are quite a few dates with up to 4 Business Class seats available. Once you get to June and July, many dates have 6 Business Class seats but we expect those to go quickly so book them as fast as you can if you’ve been looking for this route.
If you’re happy to fly Premium Economy there’s currently a good availability of reward seats up for grabs from autumn 2023, but bear in mind it’s a 9 hour journey, so try to get daytime flights. 
 
 

London – Las Vegas

 Because Las Vegas is a year-round destination, and BA has a good flight schedule from London you can often drop on some good reward seats when you search RFF. Las Vegas also isn’t as impacted by school holidays as other routes, because it’s a destination that caters more to adult visitors.
If you’re happy to fly Premium Economy there’s currently a good availability of reward seats up for grabs from January 2024. It’s a 10 hour journey however, so it’s best to try to get daytime flights. If you’re holding out for Business Class seats, you’ll find some excellent patches of availability in February and July 2024. 
 You can read our guide to visiting Las Vegas here.
 

London – Saint Lucia

Another Caribbean hotspot, surprisingly, Saint Lucia has some great spots of reward seat availability. If you can take a last minute holiday, September 2023 has some brilliant spots of Business Class availability.
The RFF calendar is also showing excellent Business Class reward seat availability throughout May, June and July 2024, with many dates having 6 available seats – but these are very likely to start getting booked up quickly.

  1. Just wondering where is that gorgeous pool in the pic at the top of the article? Thanks!

    1. Hello Mel! 🙂

      The Pool is in Jumeirah Beach hotel, Dubai.

    1. You are talking about data that was freely available to the general public on the internet for something that happened for a very brief period over 2 years ago when BA suddently stopped access to its data feed by 3rd parties. If I was not to promote companies that have done something questionable that would cancel out BA (found guilty of price fixing and hire and fire during Covid), Virgin Atlantic (also found guilty of price fixing), Lufthansa (refused to refund people during Covid by closing its refund department for months) etc etc.

  3. Hi Michele, love the site & the content. I’d booked business class flights London-Bangkok and a week in Krabi at Rayavadee resort but it all got cancelled due to Covid. I’ve got mountains of Avios and upgrade vouchers but can’t ever find flights that can get me somewhere near to Thailand. I’d welcome any suggestions?

    1. Hong Kong is usually the easiest on BA and then you would need separate tickets to Bangkok which you could book with Avios on Cathay. I recommend using RFF to set alerts as it is suprising how availablity changes day to day. Singapore is very tricky. Otherwise you would have to book on Cathay or Qatar and forgoe the vouchers.

  4. Hi Michelle, I enjoy reading your daily updates, thanks for these! Have any of these 3rd party sites yet found a way to reveal the extra reward seat availability when using a BA Premium Plus Companion Voucher? I nabbed 2x Bus to CPT next Jan using one but only by spending hours searching BA’s own site! Andy
