    Hi, has anyone read about the possible merging of both BA / IB frequent flier program in just one?

    does it make any sense having both of them active??

    thanks for suggestions

    There are a lot of speculation about this merger. However, I doubt it is going to happen soon.

    Yes, at present it makes sense to have both active, because some of their earning partners differ, so you can earn Avios with Iberia with some partners and not on BA (and vice versa). You can combine your balances at any point so you can transfer IB Avios into BA once those points have been earned. Second, if you are flying long haul with IB on Avios the taxes you pay ex Madrid are very much less than with BA ex LHR- although you would have to ticket your London -MAD ticket separately to benefit from this.

    Could we please mark questions as such by using a question mark? Thank you. (For a moment I thought IAG have announced the merger of the two programmes.)

    Got us all looking though! Especially with the capitals as well.

    Surely it makes sense to merge from an economy and management point of view. I guess it will then be Europe’s third largest programme instead of third and about sixth.
