British Airways Club has just announced a generous redemption sale that can reduce the cost of avios through London’s economical-grade redemption between the United States and Europe by 40%.

Please note that there are no discounts on required fees, taxes and surcharges; however, with British Airways Reward Flight Savings Redemption, you can reduce the required cash payments to a very reasonable level.

Unfortunately, finding these discounts is not easy, as they are not clearly marked, so you have to do some digging, but it may be worthwhile to save thousands of Avios on your next trip to Europe.

Here are 15,000 Avios you need to know each type of flying to Europe.

Sample flights

Unfortunately, British Airways did not say discounts on flights searched during the offer period, nor was it a discount. The operator also uses peak and off-peak pricing to make prices and potential discounts more complicated.

The best way to see what discounts you might get is to compare the same flights on dates other than the sale period, such as travel after February 11, 2026.

Here are some discounts for our off-peak travel:

• John Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to LHR in New York: 30,000 Avios plus £100 ($134) round trip (down from 50,000 Avios)
• Dulles International Airport (IAD) near Washington, DC, via LHR to Edinburgh Airport (EDI) in Scotland: 35,000 Avios plus £100 ($134) round trip (down from 55,000 Avios)
• Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to LHR: 42,000 Avios plus £150 ($201) round trip (down from 70,000 Avios)

Bottom line

This is a great way to save thousands of Avios on your next economical flight to or from the UK or Europe.

Economic redemption is usually a poor value of redemption of Avios, so it’s nice to see these prices significantly discounted in this offer.

It’s frustrating that British Airways is inaccurate about which routes are included, showing which flights are discounted or showing the discount amount, which could be 0% to 40%.

If you are looking to travel to London between 1 August 2025 and 11 February 2026 and play with availability inside and outside of these dates to see how big a discount you can score.

These flights are only used to book bookings until July 23, so don’t wait to save up to 40%.
