  • Avios can be used towards flights, hotels and other travel options, as well as shopping at select retailers.

MSE Rob says:

Avios fluctuate in value depending on what you're spending them on, but assuming the average value of 1p per point, this is a decent kickback of around 15-20%.

Remember, Avios are more limiting than cashback, so before doing this take a look at cashback sites like Topcashback* and Quidco* to see if you can get better value there this Black Friday. After all, it's better to have cash in the pocket rather than loyalty points.

British Airways Black Friday flights from £39 each way

Plus some long-haul deals, such as London to New York £407 return

Airline British Airways has launched its Black Friday sale, with various offers on flights and holidays. The sale runs until 11.59pm on Monday 2 December.

Just like last year, it's advertising flights from London to Europe from £39 each way, and we've spotted some flights that are cheaper still.

If you're planning a European city break, you can get three nights for the price of two on selected holiday packages. The deal's valid for travel between now and Friday 31 January 2025, and includes destinations such as Athens, Barcelona, Budapest, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna and others.

BA is also offering up to £300 off holidays for travel completed between Sunday 1 December 2024 and Friday 31 October 2025. Be warned though – the minimum spends required are high – £50 off when you spend £1,250, £100 off £2,500, £200 off £5,000 and £300 off £10,000.

In addition, we spotted some deals on long-haul flights, such as London to New York return flights for £407 in September. These could be well worth a look if you're planning a big trip, though it's worth noting this deal isn't anywhere near as strong as in 2022, when British Airways offered return flights to the USA for £299, including New York and Boston.

Here are some examples of cheap European flights we spotted on Tuesday 26 November:

  • Heathrow to Barcelona, one-way, February – from £35

  • Heathrow to Nice, one-way, March – from £39

  • Heathrow to Copenhagen, one-way, March – from £45

  • Gatwick to Bordeaux, one-way, February – from £47

Important:Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford.Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
