I have 70k Avios (British Airways) that I’m struggling to use. The BA site is awful and shows me zero availability for most routes. Does anyone have tips or tricks? Home airport in CLT. I’m even down to transfer them as well.

Seats.aero is the best. Pay to see extended availability. You may need to reposition (pay for a flight) to NYC

What routes are you looking at? How far out? Avios are some of the best points if you have flexibility

like

You can use Avios for AA flights, though my understanding is that availability for these redemptions can be limited outside of last minute bookings.

Avios will have more value on partner redemptions internationally (e.g., Iberia)

I'll buy them, DM with your price

Honestly I’m trying to get rid of them. Would give you a great deal.

Transfer to iberia avios and book flight to madrid. Enough for 2 economy one way. Have fun.

Last year, one business class was just 35k points each during off peak time. Now its higher.

Typically will only show you direct flights that BA does (not partners like AA) for rewards tickets. I run into this problem too and typically drive to JFK rather than depart out of my home town airport.

Op do you still have these points? I’d buy them

Also interested in buying

Dm me your price?

I was thinking: 1% AUM and 10% profits. Please offer any advice.
