British Airways is halving the amount of Avios rewards normally required for long-haul flights for a limited time and cutting them by 25% for short-haul flights.
Executive Club members must book by October 13 2020 and travel by June 30 2021.
The reduced number of Avios rewards required will appear automatically when searching for a Reward Flight.
Niall Rooney, Head of the British Airways Executive Club, said: “This is a rare promotion for all our loyal Executive Club Members who are longing to get travelling again.”
Since the start of October, BA has increased the number of destinations it serves.
It has reintroduced long-haul services to Johannesburg, Cape Town and Bahrain, while flights to Grenada are scheduled to return on October 14 and Seychelles on October 16.

Later in October, services will resume to Billund, Bordeaux, Basel, Brindisi, Cologne, Gran Canaria, Malta, Salzburg, Vienna and Zagreb.
