Executive Club is British Airways' frequent flyer program. It follows a largely similar pattern to most European carriers' programs, and forms part of the network of frequent flyer programs in the Oneworld alliance (of which BA was a founding member). It has three levels, or tiers of membership: Blue, Silver and Gold. Membership of the Blue tier is open to anyone over the age of 18 who has flown a 'qualifying flight' in specific airline ticket classes in the past three months. Members collect points (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Air Miles) that allow them to move into higher membership tiers. To complicate the issue, these do not reward members with free flights. For that, the carrier also offers BA Miles, which are held against an Executive Club account, but which do not count towards membership tier increases.
Unless the member is a business traveller who flies with BA on a regular basis in Business Class (known on BA as Club World for intercontinental flights, Club Europe for European flights and Business UK for UK domestic flights) or First Class (known on BA simply as FIRST), it is extremely difficult to earn a significant number of points, which makes Executive Club one of the most difficult frequent flyer programs in the world to move into the higher tiers of.
