British Airways have extended their double tier point offer by six months, to June 2025. This is the second time they have extended this offer and is an INCREDIBLE opportunity to gain status with British Airways, especially with their current business class sale now on.

This comes just as other airlines have been offering very lucrative status matches from British Airways, attempting to steal you away from BA. Virgin Atlantic recently offered to beat your British Airways status, moving you one level up, with AirFrance currently doing the same.

If you don’t know what all this alludes to, let me fill you in. British Airways offer a loyalty program that rewards you for flying with them. The more you fly, the better your perks. You start at Blue, moving to Bronze, followed by Silver and finally Gold status. The status is earned based on ‘tier points’. You are awarded tier points when you fly with British Airways.

Different routes are awarded different amounts of tier points, and the points increase with the class that you fly (ahem, business class sale now on). Head For Points have created a nifty little table here of tier point values, so you can check that out.

British Airways are running a promotion currently that will DOUBLE the standard tier points earned, when you book a 5 night or more holiday (flight + hotel or flight + car rental).
