Finnair and IAG Loyalty expand partnership
Finnair and IAG Loyalty have expanded their partnership, offering customers the opportunity to link their airline loyalty programme accounts.
The new relationship will, for the first time, allow members to link their Finnair Plus and British Airways Executive Club accounts.
This will allow the transfer of Avios across the respective airline loyalty accounts.
This move is the next step of Finnair officially adopting Avios as its loyalty currency.
From today, customers will have the ability to transfer Avios between accounts by simply logging into their Finnair Plus account at finnair.com, and choosing to link their British Airways Executive Club account.
British Airways customers will also be able to easily transfer their Avios to Finnair, by logging into their Executive Club account on www.ba.com.
Members will be able to transfer Avios as often as they wish, up to any value.
For example, BA members can upgrade their travel class on a Finnair flight, or vice versa.
The new initiative will also give customers increased opportunities to collect and use Avios, with access to both Finnair Plus awards and partners, but also to those of the British Airways Executive Club.
Pekka Antila, Finnair Head of Loyalty, said: “As we continue on our journey into a new era with Finnair Plus, we are excited to be joining forces with British Airways.”
“Customers will also enjoy a new and expanded range of opportunities to collect and use Avios.”
“We know it will prove popular with customers in the UK, Finland, and across the world.”
Customers will also now have the option to link their British Airways Executive Club account and Qatar Airways Privilege Club or Iberia Plus account.
Finnair Plus is now spend-based and includes more collect-and-use opportunities with Avios partners and offers extra rewards when reaching certain point limits within their existing tier.
