Transfer Avios points to anyone for just €10

If you've ever needed to transfer Avios between accounts, you'll know that British Airways charges a hefty £50 fee (unless you're a Gold member). However, there's now a much cheaper way to move your Avios around, thanks to Finnair Plus.

Here's how to take advantage of this money-saving hack:

First, you'll need to set up a Finnair Plus account if you don't already have one. There's a small catch - your account needs to be 90 days old before you can send Avios, though you can receive them immediately. If you think you might need this transfer option in the future, it's worth setting up your account now.

Pro tip: When setting up your account, opt for an authenticator app rather than SMS verification. Finnair's SMS system can be unreliable, and you'll need 2FA for most account actions.

The transfer process is straightforward:

1. Move your Avios from BA to your Finnair Plus account

2. Transfer them to the recipient's Finnair Plus account for €10

3. The recipient can then move them to their BA Executive Club

For those wondering about the household account option - yes, that's still the easiest way to share Avios within your family. However, this Finnair method is particularly useful for transfers outside your household account, like helping a friend book a reward flight or consolidating Avios from multiple accounts.
