British Airways has launched an enticing offer for summer 2026, featuring £2 flights to France and Spain. However, these deals are exclusively available for members of the airline’s Avios loyalty program.
Details of the £2 Flights
The new flights are set to connect London City Airport with Toulon and Madrid. For a low cash fare of £2, travellers must also redeem Avios points to secure their tickets:
- Toulon: Requires 21,500 Avios plus £2.
- Madrid: Requires 28,000 Avios plus £2.
Passengers can check one bag weighing up to 23kg included in the ticket price. This offer comes as part of British Airways’ commitment to its loyalty program members, particularly those enrolled in the British Airways Club.
Exclusive Avios-Only Flights
All seats on these promotional flights are reserved for members who redeem Avios points, meaning standard cash tickets are not available. This initiative began in 2023, with British Airways introducing specific flights where every seat is purchasable solely through points.
Seasonal Operations
The Toulon route will operate seasonally, with the outbound flight scheduled for June 13, 2026, and a return from Toulon on June 20, 2026. Bookings can be made now through the British Airways website, targeting Club members with ample Avios points.
Market Context
This promotion takes place amid challenges for UK airlines, including increased operational costs. The UK government’s November 2025 Budget adjustments, coupled with rising Air Passenger Duty, have prompted British Airways to revise its reward pricing.
- Long-haul economy redemption previously cost 50,000 Avios plus £100.
- By mid-December 2025, the requirement will increase to 55,000 Avios plus £120.
Despite these changes, British Airways continues to offer compelling options for loyal customers eager to travel to new destinations at minimal cash costs.
