As the new year rapidly approaches and Brits look to booking their 2025 getaways, there are some airline changes to be aware of to avoid being caught out. There is nothing worse than getting to the airport and having an unexpected fee handed to you for not knowing the new luggage rule of your chosen airline. Or, perhaps missing out on some valuable flight points because you chose to fly with a specific airline.
Whilst airlines do try and communicate the best they can of changes they are making to their booking, boarding, seating, luggage and other processes, sometimes it can be hard to keep up. So here are the changes to airlines holidaymakers need to be aware of in 2025:.
In 2025, your British Airways Tier status will reset at the same time as everyone else's, meaning travellers have the same Tier Point Collection Year as friends and family, who are also members of the Executive Club. In future, the Tier Point collection period will start on 1 April and end on 31 March every year. The change will be in place for all British Airways Executive Club Members, starting from 1 April 2025.
Wizz Air and Airbus are set to launch a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) trial ahead of EU mandates, in 2025. The airline, which was awarded as a global environmentally sustainable airline group of the year by the CAPA Centre for Aviation, will trial SAF in collaboration with Airbus. The trial will take place before the EU's RefuelEU aviation regulations are set to take effect in 2025.
As part of the EU’s Fit for 55 package, the RefuelEU aviation regulation requires aviation fuel suppliers to ensure that all fuel made available at select EU airports contain a minimum share of SAF with increasing blends over time. It will also require airlines operating within the EU to refuel with 90 per cent of fuel needs from those airports.
