The British Airways Executive Club (BAEC) is the loyalty scheme for British Airways. The programme’s currency is called Avios.
The BAEC can be quite a useful programme for frequent flyers in the Middle East. Earn rates are relatively generous and status is also fairly easy to obtain.
British Airways is a member of the Oneworld airline alliance and BAEC Avios can be redeemed for a number of direct destinations from the United Arab Emirates including Amman, Bahrain, Colombo, Hong Kong, London and Helsinki.
You can find out more about the British Airways Executive Club on ba.com.
