If you have ever been frustrated trying to redeem your Avios flying on British Airways, Iberia or Aer Lingus because you could only search for availability one day at a time, help has arrived.
International Airlines Group (the parent company of these three airlines plus Vueling and Level) has added a calendar-based reward flight search to the Avios website that displays an entire month of award availability in a single view, covering flights operated by British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus to book via : Earn 75,000 bonus miles after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
Bottom line
This new Find Reward Flights tool is a handy way to quickly find nonstop Avios award availability flying British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus.
There are some functionality issues like the inability to show connecting itineraries and no information on those pesky surcharges. However, hopefully this will be fixed soon.
If you are looking to fly nonstop to London, Madrid or Dublin, it should be a real time-saver and is free, unlike most third-party tools that can help you find availability quickly.
