Re: avios The way I look at it, when one says goodbye in Spanish, it's 'adios'. So by simply replacing the 'd' with a 'v' you would get your correct pronunciation. Hopefully, lol.
I live in England. So far I have paid for two flights Stockholm to London and Madeira to London with Avios . It was coming back home from a round the world using budget airlines and a trip via mainland Portugal to that lovely island with Easy Jet. I am looking into going round the world using Avios. I would like to visit Central America, South America and there are some sweet stops traveling from Miami. Cathay Pacific goes to Beijing. I am keen to go to China.
Great video , very informative , I’ve set up a British airways executive account , my age’ ing dad who’s not living with me and who won’t use the points wants to gift me 180000 avios to my account , could someone please tell me how it can be transferred to me ? Think the yearly transfer limit is under 28000 ? Can he gift me the points ? Would it cost to do that ?
Thank you for the great video again Ricky ! Thats a beautiful room. What is the best Avios reward Airline I should search for, to fly my son in May from Amman to Perth , in Economy, One Way? Will see you in Calgary this month!
Sounds like this will need to be at least two flights, if not three. AMM-DOH-SIN-PER or something similar on Qatar Airways / Qantas should do it. Either search and book the Qatar/Qantas parts separately, or call in and use the multi-carrier award chart to book.
I have some rbc avion points and was thinking of converting to BA Avios but also realized that I can transfer to Asia Miles. Which program is better for travellers, Avios or Asia miles? Options, bang for buck
Forgot to add.. how about a flying blue or Delta video? Having both *A and 1W loyalties is great but it seems that there is a challenge trying to snag a good skyteam program.. maybe Alaska comes close
I've realised how awful credit cards in the UK are. I have the Amex BA card and the sign up bonus was 5,000. Compare that to the 50,000 avios points bonus in this video.
@@PrinceofTravel What? No! Absolutely not! Great Britain refers to England, Scotland and Wales, and each country's isles. Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain but is included within the UK, which abbreviates The United Kingdom of England, Scotland and Wales. The island of Ireland hosts Northern Ireland (part of the UK) and the Republic of Ireland, which is its own sovereign state and part of the EU (unlike the UK). It couldn't be more simple. For brevity, I'll just add that that there are British Overseas Territories like Gibraltar, which are British but not part of the UK, although Gibraltar was part of the EU unlike other British overseas territories like Jersey. Like the UK, however, Gibraltar exited the EU following Brexit.
Admittedly, I had to find a BA-produced promotional video to confirm the pronunciation for myself. Yep. . . "Avvvvvios" like "adios." But by that same logic shouldn't the car rental company be pronounced like "Avvvvis?"

It’s not ‘award’ it’s ‘reward’, it even says that on the BA page you’re looking at. Oh, and you pronounced it right when you said ‘British Airways Avios’
avios sucks, they make you jump through so many hoops any money u maybe save, u didnt, because you spent hours on youtube, customer service calls, forums, and their websites. Take it from me - don't bother, book a Ryanair flight for 20$ and be done with it.
You are awesome. You explain everything in its most simplest terms.
thanks for another informative video, Ricky! these are awesome!
Thanks for watching Patrick! 🙏🏼
Love your British accent. Rather good.
Another awesome video!! When can we expect the multi carrier award avios video?

Hahahahaha suuuuuure
I have a bunch of Avios and I really need to book some long economy flights now
I live in England. So far I have paid for two flights Stockholm to London and Madeira to London with Avios .

Can you please please please make an update video on this subject because we can book with Aer Lingus on their website now. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks!
Thanks for a great video Ricky. I used Avios for Madeira to London and Stockholm to London.
Nicely done as usual!
Can a already bought ticket be upgraded with Avíos points?Thanks!
I love the videos man keep them up
Best new find for me. Great work
I dunno the posh british accent pronunciation at the start of the video sounds pretty good. That's how i pronounce it lol
Wow so detailed!
P of T. Is Air France still part of the One World Alliance?
As always Thank you Ricky!
Great info! thanks
0:42 left a like just for that 😂
Thank you for this information.
Great video - very useful thanks…

Worst case, you could book flights and hotels for yourself under his account

Alaska will eventually join Oneworld so Avios can be redeemed online. So if your in Canada or US. Alaska and American can be used.
I have some rbc avion points and was thinking of converting to BA Avios but also realized that I can transfer to Asia Miles. Which program is better for travellers, Avios or Asia miles? Options, bang for buck
Did you ever figure out your answer to this? I am currently trying to decide for myself
@@chris14388 I just came to the conclusion that asia miles are horrible. Stick to BA Avios or Aeroplan
BA Avios is what I've decided to go with. I can't seem to find any information on any current transfer bonuses tho. 🤔
That sweater is fire. Where is it from?
I believe this one's a J Crew masterpiece.
Forgot to add.. how about a flying blue or Delta video? Having both *A and 1W loyalties is great but it seems that there is a challenge trying to snag a good skyteam program.. maybe Alaska comes close
Bookmarking it for the future 😜 let’s go watch an arsenal game together again hahaha
Thanks
Can you clarify how you know which airlines will not have their reward flights show up when search the BA avios website?
Based on experience.
we're gonna make this clear it's àvios like àvion hahha great video 😁
Which country are you from
🇨🇦
👍👍👍 the GOAT!
("oh actually its pronounced British Airways Avios.". I don't Care,... 🤣🤣🤣🤣)
It's difficult for us Brits to earn lots of these points as sign up bonus here are terrible.
Perhaps someone should make a video on Getting US/Canadian Credit Cards for Brits? 😄
Wtf I love long economy segments now
Me too - I certainly hope I don't miss my flight!
I've realised how awful credit cards in the UK are. I have the Amex BA card and the sign up bonus was 5,000. Compare that to the 50,000 avios points bonus in this video.
Yeah we get fucked
FYI, Ireland not part of the British Isles
I believe "British Isles" refers to the islands of Ireland and Great Britain collectively

Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain but is included within the UK, which abbreviates The United Kingdom of England, Scotland and Wales.

Americans get 100k Avios for just checking if you can get it then british people get 2 points for spending 10k in 5 days... always getting screwed
0:30 !

Reminds me the first time I heard a Canadian pronounced Mario as in Nintendo’s Mario 64. 🤯🤯🤯
Yeah, that one's weird to me too. 💁🏻♂️
Taxes is a bitch on British airways. Tlv to lax on American Airlines 48000 miles $50 tax. Avios was 44000 points and a rip-off $510 taxes
Uhhh... wouldn't Avios be pronounced the same way you pronounce Avion?
Clearly not.

THX BRO
Seattle to Hawaii sounds good, avios are normally worth next to nothing
It's a great program if you know the sweet spots!
It’s not ‘award’ it’s ‘reward’, it even says that on the BA page you’re looking at. Oh, and you pronounced it right when you said ‘British Airways Avios’
Actually… it’s pronounced avios.
avios sucks, they make you jump through so many hoops any money u maybe save, u didnt, because you spent hours on youtube, customer service calls, forums, and their websites. Take it from me - don't bother, book a Ryanair flight for 20$ and be done with it.
U sound like ricegum lmao
Thank you for all the info
