British Airways companion vouchers opened up to solo travellers
British Airways solo travellers can now take full advantage of their Companion Vouchers.
Cardmembers who have earned a Companion Voucher since September 2021 on either the British Airways American Express Credit Card or the British Airways American Express Premium Plus Card can choose to redeem it when booking a solo trip, receiving a 50% discount on the Avios cost.
Cardmembers can still choose to use the Companion Voucher to travel with a friend – receiving a second seat for a companion travelling on the same Reward Flight booking.
Companion Vouchers are awarded to travellers who hold a British Airways American Express Card and reach the required spend amount within their card membership year.
They can be redeemed on available British Airways Reward Flights, which don’t need to start in the UK, or take a second traveller on their journey.
In addition to this change, those booking British Airways Reward Flights using a Companion Voucher will get more control over their Avios spend.
They will be able to choose from a variety of options regarding how many Avios to spend versus cash on each booking.
This was previously fixed to just one Avios and cash option based on the route and cabin.
British Airways American Express Credit Card Companion Vouchers can be redeemed in economy cabins, while British Airways American Express Premium Plus Card Companion Vouchers can be redeemed across all cabins.
Ian Romanis, Head of Retail and Customer Relationship Management at British Airways, said: “Solo travel is a popular option for our customers, which is reflected in the number of solo bookings we have seen. We’ve listened to our customers.”
