Reduced Avios requirement for short-haul awards (US domestic, e.g.).

That also works in UK domestic and flights between the UK and Europe. Same deal as the US and yes it is a nice benefit. But it doesn't really offset the huge YQ rip-off (IMHO) on long haul redemptions.

Upgrade using Avios. It really makes the difference from WTP to CW.

I give praise to the BAEC for giving me the ability to transfer Avios from my BAEC account to my IB Plus account. That has saved me hundreds of pounds when booking award seats with Iberia. ^

A joker allows a GGL member to pay for travel using Avios and take seats from inventory that is normally only sold for cash. Consequently availability is much better than for normal Avios bookings.

There are two constraints, first that a limited number of jokers can be used per flight and second there are a limited (but generous) number of seats that can be purchased with one joker.

As a US based member, very cheap short domestic awards on AA/AS!
