What happened
One Mile at a Time reports that the central Avios site hosts a calendar that scans award space across months in one view instead of a few days at a time on the individual airline booking sites.
It shows only nonstop award seats on British Airways and Iberia. Aer Lingus awards are covered as well. Connecting itineraries do not appear. Partner carriers such as Qatar Airways are excluded. Qatar has its own calendar. Results can be filtered by cabin after the search. Displayed space appeared accurate in checks by One Mile at a Time. A sample search from Madrid to Tokyo Narita showed how thin Iberia business-class awards can look once other cabins are filtered out.
The tool is most useful for point-to-point nonstop award hunting. Use the Avios calendar for nonstop awards on British Airways, Iberia or Aer Lingus and keep other tools for connections and partners.
- Takeaway
- Use the Avios calendar for nonstop BA, Iberia or Aer Lingus awards, and keep other tools for connections and partners.
