Improvements Added to British Airways Visa Card’s Travel Together Ticket

The British Airways Visa Signature^® Card comes with a Travel Together Ticket when you spend $30,000 or more each calendar year. This Travel Together Ticket was primarily meant for a companion but has improved in recent years to allow for solo travel, and British Airways has recently made some additional improvements to this benefit.

How To Use the Travel Together Ticket

There are several ways you can use the Travel Together Ticket, once earned:

• If you’re traveling with a companion and you’re both redeeming Avios, only you as the primary person need to pay with Avios. The second person would pay no Avios, and only required taxes and fees (which, if you’re familiar with British Airways, can be very expensive).
• If you’re a solo traveler, you can redeem the Travel Together Ticket for 50% off your Avios ticket.

2 new improvements have been added to the Travel Together Ticket program, which will benefit all cardholders:

• Travel no longer needs to originate in the U.S. You can originate in any other country. This is a great benefit, as sometimes U.S. cardholders would want to start their journey elsewhere, so you’re no longer locked into using it from the U.S.
• You can now use the Travel Together Ticket on partners Aer Lingus and Iberia. The only requirement is that you book your Avios ticket through the British Airways website, which shouldn’t be too hard to do considering the benefit comes from the British Airways Visa card.

Both of these new benefits are true improvements for cardholders, allowing you to use the voucher in more places and on more flights.

Final Thoughts

These 2 enhancements make holding this credit card even more worthwhile. So long as you meet the annual spending requirement, you can look forward to earning a voucher that can save you considerably on your next travels.
