One of the best uses of British Airways Avios is for shorthaul travel within the US on American and Alaska.
British Airways Executive Club has a distance based award chart,meaning the number of points required is directly correlated to the distance of your flight (which is awesome, since the shortest flights are often also the most expensive on a per mile basis).
The following number of Avios are required for shorthaul flights on American (and these are redemption rates which didn't even change with British Airways' award chart devaluation earlier in the year):-- 4500 Avios for a one-way economy flight of 1-650 miles
-- 7500 Avios for a one-way economy flight of 651-1151 miles
-- 10000 Avios for a one-way economy flight of 1152-2000 milesThe post How To Easily Select American Seats On BA Avios Bookings appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
