BA raises "prices" for frequent flyer tickets
BA has increased the number of frequent flyer points that travellers need for European flights – though the airline insists it still has “an industry-leading proposition”. According to the travel loyalty website Head for Points, the airline has “quietly” added what appears to be a flat-fare surcharge of 750 Avios points to every one-way booking. While there is no direct cash equivalent of the value of Avios points, by some valuations the move is akin to adding between GBP6 and GBP10 to every trip. Rob Burgess, the founder of Head for Points, said: “At a time when cash prices are likely to be very weak, especially this winter, it is hard to understand the rationale behind ramping up Avios prices.”<br/>
