In celebration of five years of offering transatlantic travel with our airline partners, we’re offering you bonus Avios on up to five round trip flights you take this fall.
Simply register, then book a qualifying, round trip, transatlantic flight* in any cabin and fly as an Executive Club Member between now and January 31, 2016.
You can earn 25,000 bonus Avios on first or business class fares, 7,000 bonus Avios on premium or full-fare economy fares (Y, B or H) and 2,000 bonus Avios on other economy fares when you fly to the UK and Europe.

Is this a great deal? It’s a pretty good deal if you fly first or business class. It’s a decent deal if you fly full-fare economy. If you fly economy, well, 2,000 Avios is better than nothing…..
