BA Tier Points Calculator
The British Airways Club (formerly the Executive Club) awards Tier Points on eligible spend rather than distance: since April 2025 you earn 1 Tier Point per £1 of fare and carrier surcharges (government taxes excluded), plus a flat bonus that depends on cabin and fare type — the fare type printed on your booking confirmation, never the booking-class letter.
Enter a route, cabin and fare below to see the Tier Points for any BA-marketed flight — including flights on American Airlines and Iberia, which follow the same spend-based model, and route-based earning on other Oneworld partners.

The British Airways Club status tiers
| Tier | Tier Points required from zero |
|---|---|
| Bronze | 3,500 |
| Silver | 7,500 |
| Gold | 20,000 |
| Gold Guest List | 65,000 |
Spend-based since 1 Apr 2025: 1 Tier Point per £1 of eligible spend (fare + carrier charges) on BA flights, plus a cabin/fare bonus. Gold Guest List needs 65,000 TP (≥52,000 from BA-marketed flights); renews at 40,000. Flight-count alternative routes: 25 flights with a BA code reaches Bronze, 50 reaches Silver (re-verified at source Aug 2026 — distinct from the removed minimum-flight requirements). Tier points expire at the end of each collection year (31 March) but accrue to lifetime tier points. Where British Airways cannot see the fare paid (some tickets sold by partner airlines or agents, and BA Holidays packages), it applies a distance-and-cabin fallback instead of the spend formula — figures here assume BA sees the fare you enter. The cabin/fare bonus is BA's 'extra tier points' scheme, which is now PERMANENT and automatic — no registration, no geographical exclusions — and since 1 April 2026 is set by cabin AND fare type rather than cabin alone; all 22 published values are modelled. Economy Basic fares earn no extra tier points at all — pick the 'Economy Basic' fare type and only the base spend earn applies (BA keys the bonus on cabin and fare type, never on booking class, so there is no Basic booking letter to select). Reward Flights and Avios upgrades are likewise excluded but have no schema key here. Short haul has exactly two cabins, Euro Traveller and Club Europe; BA publishes no short-haul Premium Economy or First rung at all, and the cabin-collapse rule in the terms (Premium Economy treated as Euro Traveller, First as Club Europe) governs American and Iberia metal, where it is modelled.

Frequently asked questions
- How are BA Tier Points calculated?
- Since 1 April 2025, British Airways awards 1 Tier Point per £1 of eligible spend (base fare plus carrier-imposed surcharges, excluding government taxes), plus a fixed bonus set by the cabin and the fare type printed on your booking confirmation (for example "Club World Semi-Flex") — the booking-class letter is not an input to the bonus at all. A long-haul Club World fare adds a flat bonus on top of the per-pound earning. Flights on American Airlines and Iberia ticketed through BA follow the same model; other Oneworld partner flights earn by route and cabin.
- When does the BA tier year run?
- The collection year runs from 1 April to 31 March for all members, and Tier Points accumulate across it toward an absolute threshold: the counter is not reduced when you reach a tier, and only points earned inside the current year count. Tier Points expire at the end of each collection year rather than carrying over, though they still count toward lifetime tier points.
- Do partner flights earn BA Tier Points?
- Yes. American Airlines and Iberia flights earn spend-based Tier Points like BA's own flights. Other Oneworld carriers — Qatar Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Qantas and the rest — earn a fixed amount per sector based on route and cabin. This calculator covers both models.
