What is the British Airways On Business scheme redemption chart? How many On Business points do you need to fly to a particular city?
It is surprisingly tricky to find out how many On Business points are required for a particular route. There is no published chart. The easiest way is to go to BA On Business page and search using the (slow) booking tool. It is a bit of a drag.
This table should simplify the process. It lists BA destinations alphabetically with pricing to / from London. Prices are one-way.
The chart only shows prices for off-peak economy redemptions. This is because On Business redemptions are always poor value in premium classes – see our article here.
For comparison, the chart compares the British Airways On Business redemption rate versus the normal Avios rate. The ratio compared to the number of Avios saved per On Business point varies between 4.5 (good value, use On Business points) and 2.5 (poor value, use Avios instead).
The 2021 off peak and peak Avios calendar for British Airways flights is in this HfP article.
