British Airways (BA), the flag carrier of the United Kingdom, offers travelers a world-class experience both in the air and on the ground. Central to enhancing this experience is the British Airways Executive Club, a loyalty program designed to reward frequent flyers with a range of exclusive benefits.
The British Airways Executive Club features four status levels—Blue, Bronze, Silver, and Gold—each offering progressively more exclusive benefits. To progress through these tiers, you need to earn Tier Points by purchasing different fare types and flying various distances.
Here is a breakdown of the Tier Points required for each status level:
- Blue: Entry-level with no minimum Tier Points required.
- Bronze: Requires 300 Tier Points and at least two eligible flights with British Airways or partner airlines within a membership year.
- Silver: Requires 600 Tier Points and at least four eligible flights within a membership year.
- Gold: Requires 1,500 Tier Points and at least four eligible flights within a membership year.
