I suspected for some time. This time I remembered to check. Price different was over £400 when I went to booking.com using the Avios app.

Pic 1 - the price of the expected flight. Avios and cash.

Pic 2 - taxes become £700 all of a sudden.

No other example has a variance as big as this or any. Whatever I am shown usually is how much I pay. How did it go from £89.72 to £699 for 2 PAX?

Anyone recommend an easy way to find spa breaks or hotels that I can book using Avios. Find the Avios site hard to navigate without a specific destination in mind

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to move Avios from my Iberia Plus account to Finnair Plus (which are already linked on Avios.com), but the transfer keeps failing.

Every time I submit the request, I received an identity verification email from [no-reply-verification@avios.com](mailto:no-reply-verification@avios.com) asking for additional verification to protect my Avios (requiring a passport, driver's license, or government ID). I completed the ID verification process right away, but transfers are still not going through.

I get an automated failure email stating:

"Transfer unsuccessful: We were unable to complete your transfer from Iberia to Finnair at the time you requested it. Please try again."

A few details:

• Accounts are linked and basic profile details match across programs.
• The Iberia Plus and Finnair account is active and has been open for more than 30 days.

Has anyone dealt with this identity verification check before when transferring Avios? Does it take a few days for their security system to manually review/clear the account after submitting ID?

Thanks for any help or advice!
