Easy way to get 1 Avios point

Hello!

I'm living in Germany/ Switzerland and I'm looking for an easy way to get one Avios point to be able to make use of the cheaper flights. I have enough avios to make a return flight to London, but as I didn't collect any avios recently, it seems they charge more taxes rather than the flat fee. Any suggestions to collect such an avios efficiently and cheap?


Thank you!

How soon do you need this ?

Credit a hotel stay or car rental if you're doing this soon

You could use the BA estore to buy something cheap from e.g. eBay or Apple but it may take some time (days/weeks) to appear in your account.

The default option is to buy some. The cheapest would be GBP31 for 1000 Avios, plus a 5% bonus currently.
