Avios, the new loyalty currency of Finnair Plus | Finnair Australia

Avios, our new loyalty currency

Finnair Plus will adopt Avios as a new loyalty currency in late January 2024.

Avios is the loyalty currency for our oneworld partner airline loyalty programs British Airways Executive Club, Qatar Airways Privilege Club and Iberia Plus. Also, Aer Lingus AerClub and Vueling Club use Avios as their loyalty currency.

Finnair Plus award points will be converted to Avios

In late January 2024, we will convert all your Finnair Plus award points to Avios with a 3:2 ratio. This will not require any actions from you.

When switching to Avios, we will update the point prices for our products and services. On average, the prices will change with the 3:2 ratio, but some prices may increase or decrease instead of following the exact 3:2 conversion. We will publish the Avios prices one month before they come into effect.

You will be able to collect and use Avios the same way as you can do with Finnair Plus award points until then with Finnair, our many partner airlines and Finnair Plus partners.

How to collect and use Avios

You will collect Avios when purchasing flights and travel extras. You can also collect Avios from purchases made with Finnair Visa Credit card* and from Finnair Plus partners’ services.

You can use Avios for purchasing flights and travel extras, upgrading your travel class as well as for products and services from Finnair Plus partners.

New collect and spend opportunities

Later in spring 2024, Avios will open a new world of collect-and-spend opportunities for you in an extensive Avios partners' network, as you will be able to transfer your Avios between Finnair Plus and British Airways Executive Club accounts with a 1:1 ratio. This way you will also get access to the British Airways Executive Club network's rewards and partnerships, like a wide range of travel experiences and online shopping brands.

Transfer Avios between your accounts

If you have a British Airways Executive Club account, in spring 2024 you will be able to link your Finnair Plus and British Airways Executive Club accounts and transfer your Avios between your loyalty program accounts. This means that your opportunities to collect and use Avios are significantly wider than previously, as you will have access to not just Finnair Plus awards but also British Airways Executive Club rewards.

Furthermore, you can link a British Airways Executive Club account to Qatar Airways Privilege Club or Iberia Plus account, if you have one. This will widen your opportunities to collect and spend Avios even more and make your Finnair Plus membership even more useful to you.
