British Airways’ Avios scheme allows travellers to earn air miles every time they travel.
The points can be used to book new flights, or upgrade any flights that’s already been booked.
For example, you can fly to Paris and back for 8,000 points – you would just need to pay any taxes.
While you might normally need to take a few flights a year to rack up enough points for free travel, British Airways also partners with a number of brands so you can save up just by doing your regular shop online.
For example, hungry Brits can earn two Avios points for every £1 spent with Just Eat.

You can also earn points by ordering with Dominoes, which offers two points for every £1; as well as Pizza Hut and Papa Johns, which both offer one point for every £1 spent.
First time using Uber Eats?
Go through the Avios store and you can get a whopping 600 Avios points until June 16 – normally you’d only get 300 points.
You can even get points if you subscribe to a food subscription service – Gousto is offering 1,250 points for three month subscriptions, or you can get 1,200 points with Hello Fresh.
If you shop for clothes online, you could also earn points – many of the big high street brands are also partnered with BA on the scheme.

Plus, you can easily boost the number of points you earn.
For example, sign up for a Cineworld Unlimited Card and you can get 870 points, or up to 4,000 points when buying a 24 month contract with Carphone Warehouse.
O2 also offer up to 9,000 points when you sign up for a 24 month contract – the equivalent of a flight to Paris.
Your weekly shop at Tesco could also add up – just £2.50 of Tesco Clubcard vouchers work out to 600 points.
It is free to sign up for the British Airways Avios scheme – then every time you shop, you will need to go through the shopping pages of the Avios website.
