Have not used Avios miles to Asia (from NYC) but I believe they charge much more in miles than other air programs.
I meant purchasing tickets on BA to Europe in coach is pretty cheap - meaning that BA is a decent option to actually accumulate miles through flying

Redeeming Avios on Cathay seems to cost minimal fees and look comparable to Cathay's own program:
