138 days in 2027 attract the higher rate of Avios - this is the lowest number in the past five years, when BA shifted to its current peak pattern, beating the previous best by a single day.
Eagle eyed viewers may note that the 2026 total has dropped by one since last year's analysis - this is due to 1st April 2026 being swapped to off peak.
Day by Day three things I pray ...
To avoid travelling on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays!
Weekends continue to be more peaky than mid week, but 2027 Saturdays drop to 29 peak - with three more off peaks than 2026. Two more Sundays in 2027 are classified as off peak, with Mondays picking up the slack, showing an increase of two to 17.
Midweek peakiness shifts around with Tuesdays and Wednesdays both dropping by two, and Thursdays doing the heavy lifting - up to Monday levels at 17 peak days.
Hazy Shade of Winter
Summer is when airlines make their money ... and 2027 is no different. August continues to be peak peak, with all 31 days attracting top Avios. July drops by three days after the 2026 high (but still significantly higher than 2023 & 2024), with June dropping by two and September by one.
May is the new June with a six day drop after the 2026 high. February and October both gain three peak days in 2027 compared with 2026. Other months change by just a single day.
Look Around
A four day reduction in peak days in 2027 over 2026 is welcome.
Don't forget that other airlines using Avios use very different peak profiles.
So get your skates on and benefit from the six day reduction in May peakiness on British Airways in 2027.
