British Airways has launched a new offer that allows Executive Club members to earn double Avios for flights ex-UK to Europe through June 30, 2024, if booked April 4 – 24.
Executive Club members can currently get double Avios on British Airways flights and holidays. Members must pre-register for the promotion and book by 24 April, with travel needing to take place before the end of June.
Under the offer members will earn two Avios for every £1 spent on hotels or car hire as part of a package holiday with British Airways Holidays, instead of the usual one Avios per £1 spent.
The number of Avios earned on flights will depend on the member’s Executive Club status – BA moved to a spend-based system last October, which sees members collect between six and nine Avios per qualifying £1 spent.

Conclusion
It is excellent that the doubling also includes the elite bonus, which wasn’t the case.
Frequently Asked Questions by BA:
A Qualifying Flight is a single leg of a journey on a British Airways-marketed flight that departs from the UK and lands in a domestic or European location, e.g. London to Amsterdam.
They can be booked as a one-way, returns, multi-trip bookings or as part of a holiday, where each individual leg counts towards the maximum of ten flights.
One-way example: London–Amsterdam with no return would be one Qualifying Flight.
Return example: London-Amsterdam-London would be two Qualifying Flights.
Multi Trip example: Edinburgh-London-Amsterdam-London-Edinburgh would be four Qualifying Flights

I’ve booked multiple flights, which flights will receive double Avios?

Eligible extras you add to your trip, including pre-paid seats, bags or upgrades will also be eligible for double Avios.
A Qualifying Holiday is a booking made after registration and is a combination of a Flight + Hotel, Flight + Car, or Flight + Hotel + Car booking where the flight element of the booking must originate in the UK.
I’ve booked a holiday – will I still collect double Avios on the flights?
Yes – if you register for double Avios and book a holiday by 24 April 2024. The flights booked as part of a Qualifying Holiday will count towards the maximum ten Qualifying Flights.
When will I receive my double Avios?
You’ll automatically be awarded double Avios 24-48 hours after the completion of each flight, up to a maximum of ten flights. The bonus Avios collected through a holiday will be awarded up to six weeks after completion.
