What Tier Point Planner does
Tier Point Planner is a free tool designed to help members of the British Airways Club understand how they might reach Silver or Gold status before their membership year ends. Instead of relying on rough estimates or advice found online, the planner works with realistic flight or BA Holiday prices that you can see for yourself when searching for trips.
By combining those prices with the British Airways Club tier point structure, the site estimates how different trips or travel patterns could contribute towards your status target.
Planning possible routes to status
The planner allows you to model different types of trips, such as long-haul BA Holidays, Club World journeys via London, or itineraries starting from regional airports such as Manchester, Edinburgh or Jersey. These examples reflect patterns frequently discussed by frequent flyers who are trying to maximise tier points while keeping costs sensible.
Rather than presenting a single answer, the tool compares several patterns using the prices you enter. This makes it easier to see how different cabin choices, routing options and trip combinations could influence your progress towards Silver or Gold.
Trip tracking and personal accounts
Tier Point Planner now also includes user accounts and a trip tracking area. This allows you to keep a record of journeys you are planning or considering, rather than just running one-off calculations.
Trips can be grouped together and reviewed within the tracker, helping you see how individual flights contribute towards your overall tier point goal.
Importing flights
Recent updates also allow flights to be imported from external travel apps and tools. Imported trips can then be reviewed within the tracker where you can confirm that eligible spend has been captured correctly and identify any flights that may require adjustment.
This reduces the need to enter every flight manually while still allowing you to review the details that affect tier point earning.
Understanding the results
The examples shown by Tier Point Planner are intended as planning guidance rather than booking advice. Actual tier point earnings depend on the final ticketed itinerary, booking class, airline rules and fare construction at the time of booking.
Used alongside fare searches and your own trip research, the site can help you sense-check ideas, compare destinations more easily and decide whether one larger trip or several smaller journeys may be the better path to your next status level.
