You can get a 20% bonus for transfers from Capital One to BA Avios through 10/31 at 11:59pm ET.

With this bonus, 1,000 Capital One miles transfer into 1,200 Avios.

In general, you shouldn’t transfer miles unless you have short-term plans to redeem them for flights.

You can also transfer BA Avios to Qatar, Finnair, Iberia, or Aer Lingus Avios. You can combine Avios via this link via the BA site here or on the Qatar site here.

It can be tricky to book Qatar awards, so read this post first to learn all about Qatar Avios. Also note that Qatar has recently added restrictions to booking award travel for anyone besides the account holder, unless the account holder credits a paid flight to Qatar Avios or has a Qatar co-brand card.

Avios aren’t what they used to be. British Airways seems to devalue them every few months, bringing them from first to worst in no time.

You can save with the Qatar award chart or the Finnair award chart, which is the only Avios program that doesn’t charge per leg flown, though both Qatar and Finnair devalued their Avios.

You can search for award availability using BA Avios here. Finnair or Qatar should be able to book any award space that you find using BA Avios for fewer Avios, but you may need to call them or chat to book.
