Yep, I can say that using the 241 is VERY easy. I made a recent reservation using BA miles, 270K miles for F to india (I had done a transfer of AMEX MR miles with a 30% bonus, so it only really cost about 200K miles) and used the 241, no questions asked, no blacked out dates, no restrictions or controls, nothing. Just another ca. 15,000$ F seat from SFO to LHR with stopover and on to BOM and back from DEL in full F for free. Best use of spending 30K on a card I have done in YEARS
