The British Airways Club program has announced that it will increase the cost of Avios redemptions starting Dec. 15 — but we don't know which ones or by how much.
To the program's credit, British Airways Club has kept most Avios redemption amounts stable for several years (other than increasing short-haul domestic flights operated by American Airlines and Alaska Airlines several times).
The program is notorious for large carrier-imposed surcharges on British Airways-operated flights. Although, three years ago it introduced the option to redeem more Avios in exchange for fewer taxes, fees and surcharges (called "Reward Flight Savers") for flights operated by British Airways; this allowed travelers to fly to London for just $50 plus Avios.
