Did you know that there are 196 places you can fly direct to from Dallas with your BA Avios?
British Airways Avios can’t be beat for short-haul nonstop flights thanks to ultra-low award rates, no expedite/close-in fees, and dirt cheap award cancellations. Below are all of the direct flights from Dallas that can be booked with Avios.
Be sure to read the British Airways knowledgebase and the 22 Things To Keep In Mind When Using Avios for everything you NEED to know about the BA program and how to best search for BA award availability with tips like always booking one-way awards. If you have a question it’s probably already been answered there!
Notes:
1. Rates in the chart are for one-way flights. Generally speaking it’s a good idea to book BA flights as one-ways to give you maximum flexibility.
2. Rates are always given in Avios. Currently there is a 40% bonus for transferring AMEX MR points into Avios and there is always a 25% bonus for transferring increments of 20K Starwood Starpoints into Avios. That just means that if a route requires 25K Avios for example you will only need 20K Starpoints and if a route requires 35K Avios for example you will only need 25K AMEX MR points with the current promotion.
3. Routes that are displayed in bold are subject to fuel surcharges, which can add up to to several hundred dollars each way.
4. There are no fuel surcharges for flights on: Aer Lingus, Air Berlin, Alaska, LAN, and TAM. There are also no fuel surcharges for American and USAirways flights within the western hemisphere, for JAL flights within Japan, and for Qantas flights within Australia. Fuel surcharges for intra-Europe flights are also typically quite low. Fuel surcharges for travel on Cathay Pacific aren’t too bad while fuel surcharges to fly on British Airways border on the criminal.
You can save on the fuel surcharges imposed on Iberia flights by transferring British Airways Avios into Iberia Avios.
5. In the charts below I’ve only included direct flights as BA charges Avios for each flight segment.
For example Kauai isn’t on the chart as BA does not have any partners that fly nonstop from Dallas-Kauai. Though you can always fly to Kauai via Los Angeles, Portland, San Diego, San Jose, or Seattle for 10K for the Dallas-west coast segment and 12.5K for the West coast-Kauai segment with no fuel surcharges on American or Alaska. Or fly to Phoenix for 7.5K and from Phoenix to Kauai on USAirways for 12.5K. Plus you can stopover in the connecting city for as long or short as you want.
6. BA.com does not display availability for all airlines! If you want to book travel on airlines like Alaska, Aer Lingus, and LAN you’ll need to pick up the phone and call BA! You can search Alaska award availability on AA.com before calling BA to book it.
7. In rare cases connecting flights can be cheaper than nonstop flights when using Avios and I’ve noted that in the chart.
8. Cities in the chart may only have seasonal nonstop service.
9. A dash means that class of service isn’t offered on that route.

Hi, Great list thanks! How did you find these routes? the BA website is so frustrating!
Dan, I’ve been reading your blog for a few years now and haven’t posted but I’ve always wondered, How many total airline miles /hotel points would you estimate you’ve compiled in the last 10 years (from offers)?
the expiration date for the $0 introductory annual fee is March/31/2015
Dan, awesome list and great blog — any chance you’d be able to publish from Minneapolis? Or not sure how you compile but I’d love to know.
Doh! Read note number 3!
Thanks for this treat of a post Dan! Just curious why some destinations are bold eg, Paris
If you’re taking requests, I’d like to throw Austin in there! Love these lists. Keep up the good work!
@Howard not sure how you doing we’re doing it but it must be done through ultimaterewards.com
@Howard, I think you may be in the same boat as I 🙁 I have the old Amex no fee Plat with no benefits. Chase said if I have one of the newer biz cards (which I foolishly ALL closed to save AFees) I could then transfer (e.g AX Gold Biz etc.)
+1! Thanks again!
I’d also really appreciate a Toronto post!
@adam:
Not really much to say.
It’s on Aer Lingus, so you need to call BA to book it. Be sure they waive the phone booking fee as its not online.
Coach is 12.5K, business is 25K, no fuel surcharges.
United.com does show Aer Lingus award availability, though it doesn’t quite match what BA has access to.
@Eli:
Thanks.
@Howard:
What cards do you have?
I am trying to transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Avios, but I can’t find anyplace on their site to do it, and a Chase phone rep says it’s not possible and never was. Was it discontinued? Or is there a way to do it? Thanks Dan!
Thanks! I love when u do this stuff!
I understand that from Boston to Dublin there is major savings that can be got for 12.5 K . I’ve read on all the travel blogs that that is one of the best deals that if you can get you. can you do a thorough article on such a trip and what are the details .
@abraham:
Thanks.
Maybe I’ll do a roundup of secondary cities like that. Anyone else have any requests?
Hey Dan,
These lists are amazing!! Any chance you can make one with Toronto??
