If you have ever been frustrated trying to redeem your Avios flying on British Airways, Iberia or Aer Lingus because you could only search for availability one day at a time, help has arrived.
International Airlines Group (the parent company of these three airlines plus Vueling and Level) has added a calendar-based reward flight search to the Avios website that displays an entire month of award availability in a single view, covering flights operated by British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus to book via British Airways Club , Iberia Club and Aer Lingus AerClub programs.
Best of all, it costs nothing to use. You just need a free Avios loyalty account.
Here's how it works and what you need to know to maximize your Avios.

Say you're looking for two seats to fly from Miami International Airport (MIA) to London in May next year (an ideal month to visit the United Kingdom) on British Airways.
Set your departure and arrival airports in the new Find Reward Flights tool , the number of travelers and the month you want to fly, as well as whether you want one-way or round-trip flights.

A half circle means limited availability, while a full circle means good availability.
Hovering over an available date reveals how many seats are on offer, which cabins they are in and the Avios price. You can click the specific date for more details on flight times, seat availability and Avios rate.
When you select the seat you want, you can then click through and book it through the Avios program of the operating airline, in this case, the British Airways Club program.
You can also use this to find flights operated by Iberia and Aer Lingus, which is especially handy given the great sweet spots Iberia offers on nonstop flights to Spain, combined with low taxes and fees.
There are three limitations to this new tool worth noting:
Because availability is concentrated at each carrier's hub, the tool works best for point-to-point searches from London…
