Tiers and benefits

Bronze benefits

The great feeling of being in control. You'll become a Bronze member when you reach 3,500 tier points or fly at least 25 eligible flights with us in one tier point collection year.

With your membership, you'll enjoy a streamlined travel experience – we know you're going places and your Bronze membership will help you get there faster.

More rewards, sooner

As a Bronze member, you'll collect seven Avios per qualifying pound (GBP) spent whenever you fly with British Airways or American Airlines and six Avios per qualifying euro (EUR) with Iberia.

On other oneworld® airlines it depends on how far you fly, your choice of cabin and which airline you fly with.

Welcome to the British Airways Club.

Today we are flying at Bronze tier level.

Bronze tier benefits include priority check-in and boarding, and choosing your seat for free the week before you fly.

You can now earn tier points when you spend on all sorts of things with us.

To be a Bronze member, you need 3,500 tier points a year.

There are lots of ways you could get there in a year. You could take a ski trip to Geneva, perhaps a family holiday in Spain and a round trip to Singapore with extra legroom in World Traveller Plus.

And with bonus offers to earn more tier points, you’ll soon get to Bronze and beyond.

Thank you to all our British Airways Club members.

Tier point milestone rewards

As you continue earning tier points and get closer to Silver, you’ll now be able to unlock bonus Avios.

When you reach 5,500 tier points, we’ll give you 2,500 bonus Avios to spend on your next Reward Flight, upgrade or Avios part payment.

How to spend your Avios

Business class check-in and priority boarding whenever you fly

Speed through the airport by using our business class check-in desks and priority boarding* - regardless of what cabin you’re travelling in, whenever you fly with British Airways, Aer Lingus or one of our oneworld airline partners.

You'll see a group number on your boarding pass which will automatically reflect your priority. As your group will be one of the first to board, you’ll be able to settle in and relax before take-off. If you arrive after your priority group has been called, you can use the priority lane to board at your leisure.

*Priority check-in and priority boarding are not available to Bronze members at London City Airport. Bronze members travelling through JFK are not eligible to use business class check-in but instead have access to a dedicated Bronze/Ruby check-in lane.

Choose your seats in advance

Take some of the stress out of check-in with free seat selection* for you and everyone on your booking from seven days before time of departure on British Airways flights.

Read our seating guide to learn more

*Not available on group rate bookings and excluding exit row seats. You must be travelling on the booking for the benefit to apply.

Priority at Baggage Arrival Services desks

We don't plan on losing your bags, and we have an excellent record of getting baggage to our customers at their destination on time.

But if your bag doesn't arrive when you do, we'll bring you to the front of the queue, so we can start searching for it sooner.

Stay Bronze during maternity, paternity or adoption leave

If you're planning on taking maternity, paternity or adoption leave you can apply to keep your Bronze membership even if you take fewer flights during this time. Also, if you enrol your child as part of your household account, we'll give them a welcome gift of 1,000 Avios.

To extend your membership, just send your documentation to us at baby@ba.com. Once we've verified your documents, we'll email you to confirm the renewal of your Bronze membership and how to enrol your child into the Club.

Sharing your Avios

As a member, you and up to six other members of your household, including children, can link your Club memberships together for free. You'll continue to collect Avios individually, but we'll pool them for you to spend together, bringing those rewards even closer.

You can also share your Avios with people outside your household, by adding them to your family and friends list.
