Even more useful is that BA allows you to redeem one-way awards on all partners, some of them at a lower cost than most other programs.

Example? I have redeemed two one-way C awards on LAN. SCL/LIM for 20k miles each and even some intra-Europe one-way coach awards are 7.5K miles.

Another advantage of BA miles is that you can book award tickets up until about 2 days before departure without getting gouged for an extra $150
fee for booking less that 21 days in advance. This has come in handy for me
when booking last-minute domestic trips on AA using my BA miles.
