Frequent flyers to go further for less with BA Miles Flying with British Airways is now even more rewarding as a result of changes to the airline's Executive Club programme that allows customers to use BA Miles to go further for less. Members of BA’s frequent flyer programme can fly to destinations in 42 countries across Europe and North Africa for up to 25% less Miles. Flights booked with 'part Miles, part cash and ‘Miles for upgrades’ have also been reduced. And those who book and fly before December 27, qualify for a further discount of up to 50% on current Mileage rates for reward flights to more than 20 long-haul and short-haul destinations from both London Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Executive Club members can earn BA Miles on every BA flight or on those with partner airlines, as well as when they book car hire, hotels or use the British Airways American Express credit card. Additionally, Gold and Silver cardholders also have access to more than 250 airport lounges worldwide. Other benefits include priority wait-listing, check-in and boarding, and discounts on flights and holidays throughout the year.
