Where Does British Airways Store Bookings and Avios?
British Airways keeps bookings and Avios in your Executive Club account with passes cached in a private sandbox.
Last updated
British Airways bookings live server-side. Tickets, Avios, and companion vouchers attach to the Executive Club account. The sandbox caches passes and login state.
Avios part-payments and redemptions settle server-side identically everywhere. Household accounts pool balances across members. Both phones agree after login.
