In that sense, it is a 2-for-1 voucher. However, you must pay both passengers\u2019 full fees, taxes and surcharges. This can be expensive depending on the class of service you&#8217;re booking, but you may be able to lower the cost by paying more Avios to book a <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/british-airways-avios-reward-flight-saver-reduce-surcharges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">long-haul Reward Flight Saver ticket<\/a> that lowers the price of <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/avoid-fuel-surcharges-award-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fuel surcharges<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As well as earning enough Avios for your Travel Together Ticket, remember to factor in the cost of the fees, taxes and surcharges you will also be required to pay.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"it-rarely-makes-sense-to-use-it-for-a-long-haul-economy-redemption\" class=\"jsx-133228390 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-133228390\">It rarely makes sense to use it for a long-haul economy redemption<\/h2>\n<p>Because of the fees, taxes and surcharges, it won\u2019t usually be a great deal to use a Travel Together Ticket on a long-haul economy redemption.<\/p>\n<p>Using the JFK-to-LHR example, on a standard date, you could book two round-trip tickets in World Traveller using a companion voucher for 60,000 Avios plus $200 plus $200 (the fees, taxes and surcharges for both people). Note that this is the Reward Flight Saver pricing.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with this value proposition is that while you\u2019re not paying any Avios for the second traveler, you\u2019re still paying $200 in fees, taxes and surcharges for each person \u2014 $400 total. We regularly see <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/deals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">economy sale fares to New York for $400<\/a> or less, meaning you\u2019re paying as much as a cash ticket just in fees, taxes and surcharges for your &#8220;free&#8221; seat.<\/p>\n<p>In this instance, it would be better to buy a cheap cash fare for both passengers and save the Avios for a more valuable use.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"you-can-now-redeem-it-for-solo-travel\" class=\"jsx-133228390 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-133228390\">You can now redeem it for solo travel<\/h2>\n<p>While the name suggests it\u2019s designed for two people traveling together, solo travelers can also redeem a Travel Together Ticket to save Avios.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than a second person not paying any Avios, as with two people traveling together, a solo traveler would only need half the Avios required when redeeming the Travel Together Ticket.<\/p>\n<p>So, with a redemption costing 100,000 Avios, using the voucher for solo travel would only require 50,000 Avios. The full fees, taxes and surcharges for the solo traveler are still payable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/how-to-use-british-airways-travel-together-ticket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">When does it make sense to use the British Airways Travel Together Ticket?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"it-can-be-extremely-valuable-when-used-properly\" class=\"jsx-133228390 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-133228390\">It can be extremely valuable when used properly<\/h2>\n<p>So, with plenty of rules and warnings, what\u2019s the big deal about this thing?
