In this article:

    We have written it countless times, Points are bought only when there are promotions that give rich bonuses and which allow you to lower the cost of the points themselves. Over when one has in mind their immediate or near immediate use, but not to stockpile them.

    British Airways' new business class

    The reason is simple: the next promotion might be more generous or, even worse, the points might be devalued. So one buys to use at or near the close range.

    Today we talk about Of an offer giving away 50% of points, not one of the richest but not one of the worst seen recently with the Avios group either. What does change is that now points can also be used to fly with Qatar and this opened up an endless list of possibilities for flying all over the planet with the best company in the world, passing through the best airport in the world.

    So here we are, taking advantage of this promo that gives away 50% of points, flying to the United States via Madrid could cost less than €900.

    But it is not only by flying with Iberia that you can save money.

    For example, it is possible to fly to Hawaii from Los Angeles or San Francisco for only 13 thousand Avios plus 5$ in taxes, for a ticket that otherwise costs no less than 200$.

    Finally, one should not forget how Avios points allow one to book airline tickets with Qatar by taking advantage of the low fees charged by the Qatari carrier. Being able to accumulate the 50% of extra Avios points is thus an optimal strategy to lower the ticket price.
