Which 37 airlines can you earn Avios on?

Today I want to look at which airlines you can earn Avios from.

You know about British Airways, of course.  But there are actually 37 airlines which let you earn Avios for some or all of their flights.

With Garuda Indonesia becoming an Avios partner today (story to follow!) and Scottish carrier Loganair adopting Avios as its loyalty currency next week, I thought it was worth updating this article.

The list will change again when Oman Air joins oneworld, which we expect to happen around June 2025. Until then, you can only earn Avios via Qatar Airways Privilege Club on the route between Doha and Muscat.

Scandinavian regional carrier Braathens has been removed from this list. The partnership with Finnair ended in December 2024.

Which airlines let you earn Avios?

The list below is alphabetical. In brackets, I have added the programmes which let you earn Avios from that airline:

• BA for British Airways Club
• IB for Club Iberia Plus
• AC for AerClub
• VC for Vueling Club
• QR for Qatar Airways Privilege Club
• AY for Finnair Plus
• LO for Loganair

Note that in some cases only certain ticket types will earn. Heavily discounted Aer Lingus tickets do not earn Avios in British Airways Club, for example. You need to credit such flights to an Aer Lingus AerClub account and then transfer the Avios to your BA account.
