Iberia Plus flight earning changes

Iberia Plus announced they are moving to reward Avios on flights based on spend rather than distance and fare class. This revenue based earning model is seen across many airline programs now such as Air France KLM, Lufthansa Miles & More, United MileagePlus and so forth. Earn rates will range from 5 Avios per Euro spent to 8 Avios depending on the status you have within the program.

While the move by Iberia won’t affect many Canadians – Iberia is part of IAG which also owns British Airways and in Iberia’s press release there is a quote from British Airways stating they will join Iberia in the method of awarding Avios in 2023. There are a lot of British Airways flyers in Canada and thus you can expect the Executive Club program to move to this revenue based earning model in 2023. Click here to learn more.

Ian Romanis, Head of Retail and Customer Relationship Management at British Airways, said: “We congratulate our colleagues at Iberia for introducing this change and we look forward to joining them in 2023. More announcements will follow about what this change will mean for our Executive Club programme, which will unlock even more opportunities for our Members to earn Avios when they fly.”
